[Peter Debelak]

Dear Disciple:

I apologize for placing my characterization of your argument as if it was a quote. I wasn't thinking. I was trying to "set off" a part of MY post, since lengthy posts (which mine tend to be) can be hard to read (yes, often for more than one reason).

I am also sorry I did not first ask you to elaborate. I should have done this.

To that end, there were a few other genuine questions in my post:

1) WHOSE Justice do you refer to when you advocate for invoking God in politics?

2) I noted that your argument could be made based solely on Old Testament principles; In what way do you incorporate the New Covenant into your argument?

As a final note, I do agree that the Civil Rights movement was an attempt to seek justice.

I know this doesn't erase my tone, but I would much rather discuss the substance of each other's arguments than get into a "food fight." So, take this, if you will, as a mea culpa.
