...Child Evangelism Fellowship is doing to children's minds what Joe Camel once did for their lungs--stamping an adult agenda onto defenseless innocents. Any faith pushed onto kids with bribes of candy reveals its deepest insecurity--that children allowed a free comparison of belief systems would not choose the one being hyped.

...situations now and then are not analogous. Israel's current Jewish government, unlike the Roman Empire, is not alien to Jerusalem. The Palestinians are not as defenseless as the ancient Jews. And Israeli opposition leader (now Prime Minister) Ariel Sharon's unwelcome stroll last September around the two Islamic shrines that now occupy the Temple platform--a provocation that may have sparked the Holy Land's current strife when Muslims responded by throwing rocks down on Jews at prayer below--has no precise 1st century cognate.

The Europeans are unlikely to swallow that argument from a nation whose current secretary of state once warned North Korea's Kim Jong Il that if he even threatened the U.S. with nuclear weapons, he'd be "turned into a charcoal briquette...
