We rightly criticize secular humanists who have decided to play God, but that doesn't mean terrible acts have not been committed by people who were and are sure that God is in their back pockets. We must always be on guard against self-righteousness. (A good reminder for me, since I can really get up on my high horse once I lose my temper! Once I see the rightness or wrongness of a position, well, why can't everybody see it? Are they stupid? Blind? ;-))<BR/><BR/>DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
