[RICH ROSEN] You missed the point rich, the man is oblivously rather obsessed with his fear of this imaginary Deamager-God. Read his articles on the subject. And YES, people who belive in a benevolent god - fanatically - to the point of Mr Zimmerman, (ie: would jump off a building and expect God to catch them), ARE "dangerous", and should be institutionalized. They might hurt someone else while trying to prove something. (Watch, if I try to hit that little kid over there, God will save him....)
