You have no concept as to how different the world is due to the influence of Judaism and Christianity versus how it might be. <BR/><BR/>I wish I could recall the name of the writer, but the unnamed person once said that the phenomenon of an ambulance being given deference by rush hour traffic and disrupting everything to come to the aid of a single human life could only happen in a Christian world. I think he is right, though Jay may say the Jews would uphold the same ideal.Hunter Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14961831404331998743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776899.post-1114490068371968712005-04-26T00:34:00.000-04:002005-04-26T00:34:00.000-04:00Sadly, the good Doctor (and perhaps not so talente...Sadly, the good Doctor (and perhaps not so talented Senator) Frist took this debate in precisely the wrong direction by saying that the judicial issue was about the Democrats' prejudice against "people of faith".<BR/><BR/>The issue is that Democrats are using the power of judicial confirmation as an ideological weapon; whether one view or the other has religious backing should always be irrelevant.Jay D.
