Isn't this becoming dangerous? How many times in history have people
invited themselves to be the interpretor and arbiter of God's laws and
principles, only to end up killing thousands or even hundreds of thousands,
thinking he's doing the work of God? Hitler believed he was doing the work
of God. Of course, how do we know he wasn't? After all, look at all the
disembodied spirits that would have been rising from the ashes of the
holocaust.

Well, he just wanted to say something that he thinks will get him support
from all the Christians who would like hearing such a thing -- people who
want to see a man in a postion of political power make everybody behave and
act according to the Bible.
