Re: [ot_caving] Gay historical note
Oh yeah - I regularly watch Pat R. For a few minutes at a time, I love it. Sometimes I can't get enough of his totally skewed point of view. It so defies logic and sensibility that I find it more entertaining than just about any blasphemous comedian. I love to hear him talk about "...the liberals..." as though people who think differently than himself walk around with their pants on their heads. I can tell you one thing: based on everything I ever read about 'Jesus' - God Jr. would be one left/leaning gay tolerant humanistic secularist! IE. Jesus would be one of those 'liberals' that people like Pat R. endlessly berate. Based on the episode with the money changers in the temple - Jesus would probably go haywire kicking the asses of Pat Robinson, Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn and the like... -WaVy, Amen!

Re: [ot_caving] Gay historical note
Pat R. is, in my humble opinion, a bigoted-ignorant fool. He & Jerry Falwell are cut from the same cloth...and should be, for the betterment of all humankind, rendered incapable of procreation. Would that, by Pat's definition, make his marriage a "problem"...?? Fallwell, you may remember, claimed 9/11 and AIDS were God's punishment for gays... I'll digress brieflythe alignment of the republican party, over the last decade or so, with the radical evangelical right-wing wackos (see Pat & Jerry above) turned me into a flag-waving Libertarian. sorryback to work.
