Lance,

I hate to disagree with you. However, I agree with what you said. "... 
something's got to be VERY wrong with this. Christians would not be for 
Segregation. I know zero Christians around the world that would support 
Segregation."

I agree with the principle here, but I do note that non-Christian people 
can, and will, hide under a banner of appearing Christian for credibility. I 
agree that the Bible is against segregation, and thus should be people who 
follow the teachings of the Bible. But the Bible can be manipulated and used 
out of context for other purposes, too.

Personally, if I may go as far as to say this, the Devil is trying to get 
people who believe they're christians to teach and preach wrong ideas about 
the Bible. This is Satan's subtle way of keeping people from knowing Christ. 
(2 Peter 2:1 talks of these so called false teachers).

Now, I'm not saying anything for or against the Christian Coalation of 
Alabama, as I don't know anything about the group. All I'm saying is this: 
recently, I've been made VERY aware of the subtleness of the Devil and the 
ways he works. I live in a post-Christian nation - according to the UN, we 
once had professed Christ as our nation's Sovereign Lord and Saviour, but no 
more. At least you guys still have "In God We Trust" on the penny (as far as 
I know....).

Sorry I haven't posted in a while ... actually a long while...
Quama

Siarlys, something's got to be VERY wrong with this. Christians would not
be for Segregation. I know zero Christians around the world that support
Segregation. Every Christian I know hates it with a passion. Have you
checked this against Snopes? I just did and it doesn't look like they've
adressed this yet... I'm not finding anything. But I could never imagine
true Christians supporting segregation (these days).
