Dwight, I did not mean to imply that everyone who identifies with the Religious Right advocates stoning adulterers and heretics to death -- I said that SOME do. Perhaps it would have been better to say that a FEW do. At other times on this thread, I have tried to argue that it is wrong to assume that everyone on the Religious Right advocates the extreme views that frighten liberals/moderates. I am sorry if I did not make my point of view clear. As for the stoning of adulterers & heretics, I found that on a "Christian Reconstructionist" site. And I have a chilling quote from Pat Robertson, advocating the stoning of UFO enthusiasts. And so on. Perhaps I ought to post some of these quotes, so that you can understand what the libs/mods are frightened of, and so that you can reassure them that you do not share these extreme views! jbe P.S. Please do not renege on your applause! (Thanks.) :-)

Dwight, a follow-up on the Christian Reconstructionists (and Pat Robertson): techstocks.com The above-cited post details some of the views that, as you will see, upset the liberal camp. The sources are all what you would call "hostile." But I can attest that they do not misrepresent the Christian Reconstructionist views (even though you will probably disagree with their assessments of those views). I can provide you with some direct citations from the Christian Reconstructionist sites (the problem here is that they are very long, and quite windy).
