you guys gotta get some time away from the internet!

...now off to your rooms all o' you! I'll call you when dinner's ready.

Christians are a political non-entity in USA...
...okay, they serve one function -- they are a voting block that some polititians can easily dupe into voting (as Bush did) -- but time and time again they are merely thwarted as soon as (if) their candidate does win. For instance, issue #1 for fundies has been (for 30yrs now) anti-abortion. The first step in that direction has yet to take place, and it never will. And they don't vote very efficiently as a block -- you want wholesale blind followership, look at Black America. 95%+ democrat voting block.

If you read as many Christian Kookburger publications as you do Anti-christian kookburger publications, you'd see that Christians -- the "fundamentalist" type you fear so -- constantly write about their abandonment by the likes of Bush. Bush does not empower them, nor do they him.

The Christian rags I read are pretty damn conflicted over whether or not we should endorse the "Bush Doctrine". Of course you can find quotes from fundies whom you think make your point but I'll guaran-dam-tee you I can find quotes from Christians who would adamantly disagree.

Your charicature of Christianity in 21st century America has little basis in reality. We really don't all have that "extra chromosome". Some of us are even pretty cool....play some pretty mean guitar....like sports, love our kids, eat barbeque, laugh alot. You know.....we're...
