I really have read this entire thread, and for the most part it's gone the way of most, with lots of bickering about what's wonderful and what isn't about things as they should be.

It seems to me that what's important is to recognize that certain people, who have political power, are intent on doing what I consider horrific things "in the name of God;" and frankly I'm afraid they may be able to get by with it.

The nut cases (my personal opinion) are a lot closer to home than most people realize; but perhaps that's just because I'm where they're highly visible.

A look at one who is being pushed to be the next Republican Candidate for President

I'll concede that this is a slightly biased article, but I see enough of this guy to give quite a lot of credence to what it says, and he has an incredible amount of "support."

I'm not sure, even in Canada, I'd feel comfortable with this guy's finger on the trigger down here.

It is not necessary to debate whether religion is good or bad, or whether people who are religious are good or bad. There are organized and powerful people using the name of religion who are determined to fundamentally change the US and thereby the world.

I don't want to see it happen.
