So far CNN has focused on the very religious or the very secularist and not on the 95% of people who are not inclined to force others to "conform." ...Like CNN, we understand that Radicalism sells. I have not watched it yet. That's the sort of thing I need to be in the mood for. I expect that CNN hasn't focused on the "normal" people like you because "dog bites man" is not newsworthy. This is a story about extremists. It's the extremists who are dangerous, not the "normals." If we were ever faced with a terrible choice and our very existence depended on whether we defended those laws I guess you could call us "God's Warriors" A lot of people around here have expressed concerns that the presentation will leave viewers with the notion of moral equivalence between Christian extremists and Islamicist extremists. If it did, that would be invalid and unfortunate. Coming away with the notion that anyone who defends one's way of life against aggressors could be considered one of "God's Warriors" would also be unfortunate. "God's Warriors" are aggressors on behalf of God, not defenders of way of life.
