Praying! You're quite the freedom fighter. I mean, Horatio Gates stopped the British at the Battle of Saratoga with the power of prayer. Paul Revere organized the communication to Charleston and Lexington about the British invading by communing with God. I'm sure the Founders would readily admit that action isn't needed when you believe you're being oppressed and are forced to stop those who are abusing power - all you have to do is pray. What a lazy and cowardly interpretation of the Bible. Do you really think God doesn't want you to take action - he's going to take care of it for you? That's pathetic - and it should be offensive to any Christian capable of critical thinking. > > Answer me this: What do you think happened in Benghazi? > > What do I think happened at Benghazi? I'm not going to presume to assert that I know everything that happened at Benghazi - but I can tell you that there was probably a breakdown in communications, and that there weren't any refueling tankers at Aviano to support a C-130 mission - and even if there was, I have serious doubts C-130 air support would do anything but more harm in an attack like Benghazi. See, unlike you, I don't need to take every tragedy that happens and fit it into some global conspiracy theory that I prescribe to. I don't make the facts fit my already held beliefs - they inform my beliefs and allow them to evolve.
