One Thing

And fj, I am certainly not in favor of the Obama abortion comment. Apart from my strong anti-abortion stance, we cannot know whether Obama's Presidency is in God's plan for us. Hard to understand, but to sort-of quote C.S. Lewis, we only see through a glass, darkly.

Seems a silly thing for one to agree with then but it begs the question of would it have made any difference politically. McCain was not going to win in '08.

Yeah, I try not to play "what if" scenarios in my head. The ripple effect of even one change makes me wonder what to wish for. For example, if one is a tea party fan: No Obama, possibly no tea party? The list is literally endless.

Our pastor made one little comment during a sermon that altered my confidence in my own opinions profoundly. He wondered how do we know that God doesn't want immigrants from Central and South America to come in large enough numbers to affect the US in ways we could not even predict. (And in case anyone thinks I go to a Main Line liberal denomination church, this is a socially-Conservative Baptist pastor).

You are walking along a beach when you feel something under the sand. You stop, dig in the sand and find it's a bottle with a cork in it. You take the cork out and realize you have just unleashed a genie. The genie gives you the power to change just one thing about the United States.

Understanding that this one wish could fundamentally change the future of this country, what one thing would you choose?
