I recall hearing from a priest at some point that 'the coat hanging in your closet belongs to a poor man', and I have tried to live that. (I think it was from St Basil.)

Extremists are all over everywhere, and I think the world could do without them. I have always preferred sane people who act on the spirit of their beliefs--Joe Offer comes to mind with his work at the women's shelter and his advocacy for prisoners--rather than chapter and verse of whatever book/belief system they subscribe to.
