“Why I Follow Christâ€
I cannot claim authorship of this…it was written in 1981 by John C. Hutchinson Jr. I heard it in an Adrian Rogers sermon I was listening to on a road trip today, and I felt it was too good not to share it.

Politician: “Keep Your Convictions to Yourself”
While the title’s not a direct quote, that’s the gist of what was said by Representative Lynn Woolsey (D-CA) in a letter to Politico. The essence of this is, “keep your superstitious foolishness to yourselves and leave the governing to us progressives, or we’ll steal your money.”

This year (2008), the flashpoint is apparently centered in the Washington State Capital building, where an atheistic organization placed a sign protesting religion in general, Christianity in particular, and Christmas expressly.
It’s a display that smacks of spiteful children railing about how unfair some fact of life is.
