Couldn't get the article. But the equation of Christianity and Facism depends upon which version of Christianity. The idea of the Right-Wing Fundamemntalist brand (Pat Roberson and Ralph Reed) is more fanatic and cultish than facist in the sense of Hitler. This brand of religion, if you can really call it that is inhumane in that it calls for the destruction of non-believers at the appointed time of "Rapture", a peculiar name to describe this heinous slaughter. In this way, it resembles the fanaticism of other branches of religions and some upon which Bush and company have declared war. There is an irony here. Frank
