brees, I didn't write that, Robert Barry did. I happen to sympathize with his words, but they're technically not mine.

To address the question you raise: is acting on behalf of one's god or deep-held belief system a bad thing? Of course not. It may get you labeled an extremist, but it's not bad in and of itself.

What was it that Barry Goldwater said in the 1960's? "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice." In Goldwater's case, at least, extremism was no way to win an election.
