CB, I ought let DMA's response suffice, but find the thrust of your post......mmmm.....inadequate.

I'm partial to Hayek's observations about the function of religion. He claimed it is a conduit for information painfully acquired by generations of our predecessors acting as unwitting guinea pigs. Some religions have done this more admirably than others. In my view, the Christians, especially of the Protestant or Calvinist strains, have left the more prosperous and civil societies.

I sympathize with the anger toward the ACLU and suspect that almost all the threatening Internet postings are simply hyperbole from frustrated folk. By me, tar and feathers would be preferable to Daisy Cutters or bunker busters.

While I haven't disgraced a church with my presence for quite some time, I'm most comfortable with my neighbors getting their indoctrination from Christian churches.

The race is not always to the swift, nor victory to the strong.....but that's sure as hell the way you want to lay the odds.<i/>
