Last night, a Dr. Peter Schneider, one of four panelists on a CSPAN discussion on US/International relations viz. a viz. the war on terrorism, gave a prognostication with an interesting terminology twist. Eschewing the red state/ blue state labeling that applies to domestic US voting patterns, he internationalized the political classification, coining different terms. In his view, the correct international terms should be "godly" versus "worldly" citizens of the US or Europe. Schneider believes that Europeans and "worldly" citizens of the US would become closer and closer in the coming decade, while "godly" citizens of the US would become more alienated from Europe. I think he is correct and I welcome the change in terminology. Will others?

Each month brings us closer to the segregation of the flock foretold by Christ.
Come, Lord Jesus.

    A little late, I'll add:

    I agree somewhat. I'd state there is a Godly group, in fact, and there is a group that is Godly, in their own mind: The Bible or basic morality be damned!

    And they shall say unto God, When, Lord? When did we see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and we gave you drink? When?

    And the Lord shall answer, whenever you have done it for the least of these, you have done it for me.

    -Jesus
