281 — Unleashing Force

Okay… I’m going to meld about a dozen emails into this one. Because I am a genteel and kind person, I will strip out the venom, the accusations, and the snide, smirky tone that inhabited some of them… All of them are along the line of “how can you call yourself a Christian and vote [...]

Flying Dinosaurs, Batman! question 280
