The Fundamentalist mindset: the hating of Anyone Not Like Me / not believing as I believe yada yada. We have those here, too - something lost thus far in the high dudgeon reserved just for towelheads. Goose/gander.

Only some of ours have.. radio / Tee Vee programs, of decades duration and the nasty bits of fabricated God-talk: come from Leviticus and other antediluvian passages: as much present in the Xian Bible as in.. the Bowdlerized addenda to the Koran.

In for a penny, in for a pound - there's bad shit 'interpreted' by execrable sociopaths in lots of holy propaganda out there. Read it *ALL* or leave it ALL. (Then you'd have to reason for *Yourself* - scary thought, that.. Apparently.)

Hypocrisy - don't leave your ministry of propaganda without it; it's an Equal Opportunity employer.

PS - IMhO - Ashcroft's right to his own brand of Fundamentalist Christianity ends somewhere Before: the implementation of so-called voluntary prayer meetings for his staff, as has been reported various times in the press. Funny how silent are the Murican theologicals re this mingling of personal religious ritual in the actions of a Cabinet-level Official, no?

Tell me about your job security, chances for advancement if you miss? a few too many of those. Think anyone will Clean up That Act?


Hah!
