This isn't as disgusting as what the terrorists did, but it's disgusting. The most ironic thing about these vicious morons is that their attitudes are so far, far, far away from any accepted understanding of Christian behavior. They ought to read what Jesus said for a change and try to make at least a token attempt to understand what Jesus believed in. Falwell and Robertson's attitude has much more in common with the blind fanaticism of Osama bin Laden and the radical muslims than it does with the rest of America, or with real Christianity. I continue to be grateful for our constitutional separation of church and state. --Mike - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
