Yes, Terrence, I understand that at the restaurant, Hal Lindsey's remark seems to indicate that he is making it up as he goes along!!! He is making a lot of money selling those books, don't forget!!
One of the things that disturbs me about the religious right is that the true believers, the little guys, really think the honchos and charlatans and politicians who give lip service to conservative Christian values because they need votes, really believe the leaders are sincere.
It reminds me, in fact, of when Dan Quayle was in office, and was officially against abortion. When asked what would happen if his teenaged daughter got pregnant, it was a different story. His response indicated he and his wife and child would talk about it and solve the problem together, taking into consideration the daughter's opinion and the circumstances. A situational ethics type of response, if ever I heard one!!!
Oh, here's another funny one!!! Bill Clinton and Al Gore are both Southern Baptists!! Like I am sure Hillary and Tipper are going to start SUBMITTING to their husbands!! Ha ha ha!!! |
