As I recall fuzzily, Rev Falwell was sitting in a conversation format with Pat Robertson. In any case anyone who does this for hours every day, it is easy to forget one is on the air. Especially on that day of extreme sadness and tragedy. I believe I refrained from posting on this thread on SI that day and maybe a few days. I was emotionally overwhelmed. One can only find partial transcript with google. Most are on sites dedicated to jumping on all things religion. Again your report of what you say was said I believe shows again. Ann Coulter I described in my book, which is the constant mischaracterizations, which is a small word, picking out the word of parents. It makes a big difference. And these subtle differences that are then glossed over as if there's absolutely no difference. To try to portray conservatives as crazy people, as Nazis, slave owners, (unintelligible), homophobic, how about dealing with our ideas? This is a case of a sentence or two out of paragraphs. Now you also go off on this very revealing tangent. (very shallow thinking) You may believe that your entire political agenda is endorsed by God, but that doesn't make it so. I have expressed my belief than an honest man of God spoke poorly and was mis-interpreted with those who are ignorant of what Christianity is and or with a less than noble goal of attacking any time the can gain something. I am certain that God would want me to honestly report what I believe concerning an unjust allegation. I would also assume that every good and honest real American would also wish for me to do the same even if they are athiests. But even in your interpretation, The groups you mention all advocate 99% secular agenda and in general violate the principles of Christian religions, Their actions are defined as SIN. Rev Falwell referred to groups who in the main of their agenda advocate sinful activities by main stream Christian values. That by definition is rejecting God. If one rejects GOD one reject his protection. It is quite logical and common sense for all who believe as Rev Falwell believes. So allen, tell my what is my entire political agenda is and what parts of it do you think my God would object to. What words in the Constitution of the United States do you object to. What part of the Our Father do you object to. Which of the ten commandments do object to me or any individual following . You have no idea of what I really believe or who I am. Or was that a backhanded insult, If I say anything about faith in God then I'm to be dismissed. Is that what your comment means? I question always the jugdements of all on everything. I speak to the facts and interpretation of facts or events. When I see shallow of stupid analysis I call it directly. I have a sense of ethics and morality and truth and I apply ethical rules of logic and common sense in evaluting what I read and what is proffered. Notice I have not proffered what you believed but asked questions because shallow thinkers give such confusing messages. And to confuse you more, I don't agree with a lot of what Rev Falwell believes. I do believe he believes it. That is why I use the title Rev and do not insult by omission. Why do you insult by omission??? tom watson tosiwmee
