"O kind missionary, O compassionate missionary, leave China! Come home and convert these Christians!"*

Professor Jamie Raskin said it best: "When you took your office, you put your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution; you did NOT put your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible."

And George Washington said: "The Government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion."

And of course, Article VI of The Constitution states that “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust in the United States.” And everybody remembers the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof …"

All of this stuff comes up as I read a headline about the Republican front-runner THIS WEEK is trying desperately to convince people he's a "Pro Life" candidate. 

As if, "Pro Choice" means, "Anti-Life."

In Luke, Chapter 18, it is written that Jesus spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.

"Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this:  ‘God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.  I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’

But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying,:  ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.

May God Bless you, Tim Tebow.  But I hope that the Patriots drive you into the ground like a Lawn Dart. 

 I have money on New England, and need to render unto Ceasar....  

 Forgive this poor free-thinking sinner, using the brain God gave him.  I'll be back soon with more TALES OF INTEREST!**
