...premillennium rapture teachings remind me of '60s guru Timothy Leary's aphorism, "Tune in, turn on, drop out." Only now the opiate of bad theology has replaced drugs. Why work to redeem the culture for Christ if you believe it is only going to get worse and that will hasten the Rapture? Wake up! We do not know when Christ will return, so let's get back to the work at hand. ERIC LAHR Atlanta...
...power struggle in the American Catholic Church is reminiscent of Christ's disciples, who argued among themselves about who was the greatest.

Still, the ideal solution, I think, would be to render unto Caesar an affirmation of flag and country but to keep God in our hearts, where he belongs, and out of politics. Christ himself was scathing about pharisaical display. Don't try to nationalize the deity; it's a little cheap. The Almighty likes to work on a case-by-case basis anyway. I'm all for patriotism and all for religion. But they need to be watched. Sometimes patriotism becomes the next-to-last refuge...
