Somehow, it doesn't surprise me that Larry Bickford would object to the
concept of a net.religion.coercion.  After all, in the past he has advocated
discrimination against nonChristians.  He has suggested that nonChristians
have tax sanctions imposed on them and has hinted that in the "ideal"
society he hopes for nonChristians would have "a few problems."  What these
"problems" might be, he has refused to say.  I would be very interested in
how, exactly, he thinks Christians are being "forced to live as
nonChristians", but I'm not very optimistic about getting a straight answer
from him.

Personally, I think his reluctance to discuss religious coercion stems from
the fact that if he were to tell us what he really thinks the place of
nonChristians should be in our society, he would be exposed for the
religious fascist that he is.
