[Faith-talk] washington seminar

[Poppa Bear]

We gave up our rights in many ways when we became Christians, but we gained 
plenty of duties. Almost all of the historical atrosities that were 
considered exceptible by both Christian and non Christian were broken by men 
and women who were soldiers for Christ, look at the Child labor abuse, slave 
trade, the Civel rights movement, medical standards, humane standards to 
temper what was exceptable in times of war and on and on. we're not called 
to be ostriges with our heads in the sand, but lights, champions for life, 
hope and freedom spiritually, emotionally and physicaly.
