Again from Holden:

>>>And yours is unbiased?
>>>How about a quote from the big book itself:
>>>
>>>"Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; 
not 
>>with
>>>eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God."
>>>								Colossians 3:22
>>
>>Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the 
>>Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance 
>>from the Lord as reward.  It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
>>
>>Colossians 3:23
>>>
>>>"Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters accourding to 
the
>>>flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto 
>>christ."
>>>Ephesians 6:5
>>
>>Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but 
like 
>>slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.  Serve 
>>wholeheartedly, as f you were serving the Lord, not men, because you 
>>know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, 
>>whether he is slave or free.

Sorry, but I don't get the union reference.  My point was that 
Christians believe that there is something beyond this world.  Working 
for social change is great and something that we should all work at.  
There is a lot wrong in this world.  But for those that have to live 
with inequity and wrong in their lives every day there is something 
else.  I'm not saying the present system is good, only not as important 
in the long run.  If you count the 70-80 years spent in this world 
against eternity it's not that hard to figure.
