We as a society are too self-absorbed.
We don't prioritize. Cleansing will come in the form of disease, pestilence, anarchy a la Gaza and I'll get back to you ...

I guess home teaching, visiting teaching, FHE, mutual, scouts, activities, parties, etc, are just a nice way to waste time and money. I am interested what is the church? |

Man tis conversation has become tiresome. This is what happens when we try and extend the sacred, three-fold mission of the church into the cesspool of political debate.
All this time spent trying to justify the actions of corrupt, amoral poitical parties (yes I mean both of them) should be replaced with a rededication to discipleship. |

And why is it these social activities more often distract from the tri-fold mission instead of enhance it? Perhaps because there is more focus on the social aspects and less on the mission! For a good definition read Archea's posts. |

A good post. I actually took a religious studies class in college and the professor presented us with several studies showing America is more religous today than ever before (measured in church attendance and numbers of people identifying themselves as religious). I will try to dig through old papers and see if I can find the sources of the studies. |

I have insinuated, suggested, intimated that you should make your protest not by merely ranting, in anonymity, on a public message board but by how you live your life –examining your purchases, lifestyle, habits etc. Coincidently that is exactly what members of the church must also do. In other words living differently than the millions of other limousine liberals in North America. Do something … gosh, run for office your self! By the way, I live in a country where the liberal agenda rules and has since the nations inception … ironically my wife and I are seriously considering abandoning our van in favor family bikes etc. due tot he opressive nature of the liberal agenda ... of course Amercans are different, smarter, they'd do it better. |

I also find it interesting that you would consider any small protests here done anonymously to be the full extent of one's actions in opposing Bush and his agenda. What is the basis for that thought? |
