Who are you guys trying to kid.  Jerry Falwell is an idiot.  I mean the guy
really believes that there are still dinosaurs alive in Africa and that the
Earth is only 6000 years old.

That wouldn't be so bad if he didn't want everyone else to believe it to.

Jerry believes in seperation of Church and State, but only for left-wingers.
His motto : if you can't convert 'em, legislate what you want.  This is very
dangerous.  What's even more dangerous is that he probably controls in the
area of 10 MILLION votes (10,000,000)!!!  This is enough of a swing to 
affect national politics for years to come.

==============================================================================

A note about Church and State : 

The Founding Fathers simply wanted no single State Religeon.  They left
Europe to avoid that.  They meant that America should not persecute anyone
for their personal beliefs.  This did not mean keeping the two completely
apart.  The ACLU has blown this way out of proportion.  I don't object to
having a manger in a public building, nor a menorah, nor any other symbol
appropriate for the season.

If what the ACLU says is true, why do the Senate & House have chaplains, and
why do they open each days busines with an invocation?  Why does our money
say "In God We Trust"?  Why did they write "...all men are created equal and
they are endowed by their Creator..."?  They were very religous.  They just
didn't want to be told who or what they could/couldn't worship.

Religeon will always play a big part in our lives, therefor it will be a part
of our politics.  If everybody would give a little, we'd have a lot less 
problems.
