...growth--Jesus is growth, he associates with lesbian and homosexual--always is friend to the outcast and rejected, is for ERA--elevates even the woman taken in adultery, prince of peace--he is not for another round in the thermonuclear race to Armageddon, favors merciful abortion to prevent a tide of the unwanted from filling welfare rolls, prison cells and death rows to the electric chair. To right wing evangelicals Jesus says, "You call me Lord but do not the things I command you." Henry Ratliff...

Yet interest rates continue to rise like an incoming tide. Major banks last week hiked the rate they charge their best corporate customers another half point to 14.5%.
