What do you know about the Genocide in Darfur?

I know it's Bashir of Sudan who heads up the genocide of those in Darfur. Also he's being brought up on charges which he is denying. Also, that not many countries are doing much about it. There isn't much difference between this and Georgia/Russia other than the fact that Georgia is a major ally of the US and a vibrant Democracy mimicing ours while being ex-USSR where as Darfur is just some small African country that doesn't mean much to the US outside of the fact it has oil not currently sent here.

What is your stance on Christians involvement in Civil Rights, Social Justice and Fighting For The Opressed?

It's partly the backbone of our responsibility, though not so much on "Civil" Rights because "Civil rights are declared by the State/Gov't where as Christianity promotes "Common" Rights which are given to all of man kind (as our founding fathers note extensively and why up untill the 1970's we opperated under common rights). However, we must also be objective and not act out of emotion, but out of truth and responsibility. Regardless, if we know there is true injustice we should at least have a stance against it... we can't always "do" something outside of spreading knowledge.

Is there a moral and biblical mandate for fighting for the freedom of those who can't defend themselves?

Yes, but more so its really about fighting against evil, not necessarily for freedom... though one tends to lead to the next.

Are there Social Justice Issues and Civil RIghts Issues you are invovled in and see as important?

Yes, fighting against the "fairness doctrine" meant to eliminate Christian broadcasting. Also against activist judges like those in California and those who want to put them into office, like Obama admitted has during the debate at Rick Warren's church 8-16-08. Also, against any Deconstructionist/Revisionist organization and purpose. Also against gay marriage and abortion and others.

Do you believe God has called us to to break the bounds of those bound up?

God has called us to break the binds of certain of those bound up.

Would you give of your worldly resources to provide for the needs of those without?

If I am called by God to.

When Jesus wept and was moved with compassion and healed the sick and cast out devils, do you feel that is a call to all Christians to follow His example?

To those God desires, yes. God did not heal ALL the sick or raise ALL the dead (he wept for Lazurus) nor did he cast out devils from ALL those that had them. Thus, for those whom God chooses to heal, redeem and free we should follow his command/leading.
