It seems to me that Christians don't support democracy. If your local school district was 80% Muslim and voted that Muslim laws should be passed, including girls being forced to wear burqas and Muslim prayers being broadcast over the loudspeakers five times a day, would Christians accept the laws as democratic? If the majority of the school district is Muslim and wants Muslim laws, shouldn't those laws be respected?

See how that works?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
