What's the practical difference between Falwell and the Imams promoting the idea of strapping bombs onto yourself to get your 72 virgins?
I have never seen Falwell ever promote violence. I will concede your point if you can show me where. That is the difference that I see
Sudden power is apt to be insolent, sudden liberty saucy; that behaves best which has grown gradually.

So you don't read links. Wow.
Actually, what's
scarier about your apologism is you might have read the link, and saw Mike's post, and
dismissed wars as a type of violence.

If you are talking about The christian rights infulence on Bush.. yes there is a connection, but I do not believe it is to bring about the rapture..

So you haven't read either Mike's post or my link. Not surprising, it'd shatter your pre-conceived notion that your religion is somehow morally superior. Fuck off, theski. The requirements for logical debate aren't hard to fufil, but you seem to be hell-bent on not following them in this case.
