'They convinced my 15 year old son that religion is only about money. Like I said in an earlier post," I think these people will only drive others away from religion." Well I hope he does not take a religious right nut case approach, but if that were his attitude, I doubt he would have been elected Gov, AG and Senator. I do believe that some have an irrational fear of the religious right. Most are not all that extreme and in our democracy extremists have never prevailed for long. There are extremists on both sides of the spectrum and while occassionally they surge in times of discontent, they also usually flame out quickly. Little Joe

Dear Patricia: Boy, you are right on that one. My son raised a Catholic with us fell into a Religion (cult) at his College Campus. I call it a cult as its sole church was there. The preachers? looked like they just got out of prison. Anyhow, they really messed him up, convinced him to give them much of his life savings, when I called the police they said there is NOTHING I can do about it. To this day, and its been 3 years now, he has been messed up in his life and he was an honors student. He is still a good student, working on his Phd but he has no social life to speak of. These people try and keep you ISOLATED so that they can control your thoughts and deeds. JDN
