Being born again doesn't necessarily destroy one's humility. There are arrogant jerks of every stripe. [edit: tyop] Cheers, Scott.

The absolute best of the bunch is a born again (does that need caps?). He is also one of the nicest people I've ever met. But there is a very interesting spark, a subtle texture of his personality. I always thought it was a good thing he was born again, because if not he'd be dangerous.

In 1975, the Pat Robertsons, Jerry Falwells, Jimmy & Tammy Fayes, Ralph Reeds, Jimmy Swaggarts, etc. ad nauseum all had their (as commonly defined at the time) "kookie followings" but none had any real political power. Which was as it should be (and still should be, forever and ever, amen). But now, of course, we've seen the loonies creep into every crevice of our governance. Pat Robertson actually ran for president - and worse got (iirc) over one million votes! How you feel about some one who "speaks in tongues" having his finger on the button? At a personal level, I don't care if you believe the earth is flat, the Universe circles the earth or that there's a nice old man keeping an eye on you from the heavens. Believe that all you want. Just DO NOT be placed in a position of power. Because if you believe all that lunacy about "revelations", you might just want it to get here quicker and, ironically, if such a person is in power I might want to end life on the planet quickly as well because I cannot imagine the horror of living in a Born Again Christian Theocracy. bcnu, Mikem Eine Leute.

Obviously Mr. Carter, after long observation has never shown any tendencies towards ~ Oh What the Fuck - it's all gonna go up in Holy Smoke pretty soon.. why not just start shooting up those vexatious Brown People who genuflect in that funny way? Maybe I can get a Second term and install My Son, next... I'm not sure how one would devise a litmus for say, "degree of fascination? immersion..? obsession..!?" with the sci-fi part of the pair of Testaments. Not that -realistically- one would ever be likely to attach any power-of-consequence to the reading of the color of such a test strip. Not in a '#1-type Christian Country\ufffd', anyway. (I suppose that a subscription to the current series of rilly Popular novels on Rapturin' out, a fascination with tales of being bodily [Are these guys Unclear on their Own Concept?] extirpated from your steerage seat on Refurbished Airlines and Macram\ufffd LLC? -- could be a winner, in the turgid profession of trying to define fungible %looniness.) But it would be hilarious to see the final form, the actual legalese surmounting/ submerging the religio- and psych- speak phraseology of The Bill: before the Chief Justice of the United States, The Honorable Clarence Thomas and his new Associate Justices, Jerry Foulwell and Matt Drudge.
