Niles,
It really is pointless to debate these things with Christians. They really are set in this way, and are not open to change.
They just need to keep that stuff out of the government, out of the (public) schools, out of doctors' offices and pharmacies.
It is totally sad how some people are so convinced that we are living in "the last days". That sort of thinking is very egotistical.
This "last days" theory is also an excuse for people to continue polluting and destroying the environment. One politician (okay, I really don't remember which one. A House representative, I think) *actually said*, when questioned about pollution and shouldn't we try to keep the earth clean for the coming generations, "I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY MORE GENERATIONS WILL BE HERE BEFORE CHRIST RETURNS".
These people can make any claims to salvation as they want...it doesn't change the fact that they will reap the repurcusions (whether through karma, or judgement by God, or whatever) for DISRUPTING THE ECOSYSTEM, AND DESTROYING THE EARTH, IT'S ATMOSPHERE, AND THE CREATURES WHO LIVE HERE; basically for failing to respect and live in harmony with the earth and with each other.
