I know this is a long way off from the post but I have top say that
I would think that he would side up with those who were the Orphans
of God and that can be on either side of the politcal sphere. I
don't see mark as a rebel but the Church is the rebel as it has lost
it's vision of the real Fast in Isaiah 58. Doing not just playing
games and church. I would rather side with him and sing Frank Zappas
song "Plastic People Oh Baby They're Such a Drag" and then before
that point the finger at myself first. But that is my take on this
one.

Blessings to you all
Brian

P.S. Thanks for this group!!!!!!!!! :)
