The Haq is another in a long line of fanatics that hates to be called a fanatic.

Laz, I don't understand your first sentence, unless I didn't make myself clear in the other post. I know that there are extremists in Christianity that are not following the precepts of the religion, and I consider them not to be religious. Some of them I believe are greedy, and seedy, in full violation of the Bible they flop around as they parade across the stage asking for more money. No, I do not think these people are religious, as there are non-religious people that are members of every religion, but do not practice the rules, and regulations, of their professed religion. I also believe that, virtually, every member(for lack of a better word) has sinned against the precepts of his religion, but in many cases have admitted their infractions, repented for them, and have asked forgiveness. The point is, that they do not make violation of their professed religion a daily routine. I am a Christian, and believe in the words of the Bible but, even I would not like to see a religion in control of a nation. I do believe that Christianity, as well as other religions, should be allowed to worship without condemnation, nor governmental control. I believe that any religion, other than Christianity, is inaccurate in it's thinking, but would speak against any one, or group, trying to silence them. ~;=;o --haqi
