For JMCFST, who asked (And anyone else who cares) LONG!!!

Amazing. Quite amazing. I've been waiting a long time to read this.

If you were able to flesh this into a book, it would be a very good one.

But, since you can't name any laws currently on the books that they have advocated and that you want removed, even though the Religious Right has been around for 30 years and its power is now waning, then it seems to me that my opinion is the one based upon reality:  these so-called "leaders" of the Religious Right have VERY little power, they're nothing more than gnats. 

And since that are nothing but gnats, my response to them seems the most prudent:  I turn the channel.

I apologize for this interjection.

The problem is the fact that they have so many followers. Look at the amount of money they make, at the ratings their TV shows get, at the number of books they sell.

They may be gnats now, but if not stopped, they could grow to be the most powerful men in the land.

common sense should tell you that enumerating the faults of others is NOT spiritually profitable. 

And yet you are ranting about JSojourner. Take a deep breath.

Your one of my favorite posters JSojourner, so thank oyu for sharing your story with us. I always find it interesting to learn what shapes people political views.

Thanks!

I agree.  And even though it's clear Jmcfst and I can't stand each other, I have to admit -- when he opens up and just talks about himself, his family, his church and pastor -- I find I really like the guy.  There's a lot of good stuff there.  But my real objection to him is not his support for the religious right or the Republican Party.  It's his status as a Dallas Cowboy's fan.  There's no limit to the depths to which he will sink.  The only thing worse would be for him to declare allegiance to the Cleveland Browns.  <grin>

He's a Cowboys fan?
