Al, <Falwell on the other hand, he is anything but tolerant.> Well duh. He isn't pretending to be tolerant. Funny how in the post-modern society that we live in where any evil is acceptable, the only sin that remains is "intolerance." <people can believe whatever mumbo jumbo they wish as long as this does not become a burden on others.> I sincerely hope Falwell being interviewed on CNN isn't a "burden" on you. Ok...C'mon...do I believe Falwell will incite his followers to go out and kill non believers, NO...but do I need to point out that folks like Falwell have a following (to the sad commentary of the so called advanced society we live in)? They reach people...mostly stupid people who send them money to get into "God's good graces", because that's what they say it takes, but they do reach people. There is a guy with a foreign accent (Benni Hana I think is his name) who goes around faith healing people in real time. He sells out stadiums. People send him millions. He is good for a lot of entertainment with his slicked hair over his balding cranium and the perfectly taylored suits and lots of jewelry. It is amazing how stupid people can be about this stuff. Their followers actually believe the crap these people spread or they would not subscribe to these circus acts. So if Falwell says on CNN that the WTC came down because of homosexuality, people really buy this $hit and make it their belief and try to convince other stupid people that it's true. You can't see how Fallwell and people like him impose on others? Their brand of morality is the only acceptable one and if you don't subscribe you are going to hell and will burn there for all ethernity...and discrimination follows from there. Mohamed was a terrorist, Islam is evil, etc....Divisive language aimed to separate and create mistrust and even hatred among people and aimed to make you conform to their way of life and thinking. And if you can see in OBL's crusade against the infidels how these "cults" can reach extreme levels than I don't know what to say. It has the same basis, with different degrees of extremism. Al
