Apparently the author of this reply is unable to distinguish between
a demonstration and an opinion.  Every statement in the above paragraph
may indeed be true, but it contains not a single shred of supporting
evidence.

What do I mean by supporting evidence?  For starters, how about proving
that anyone that [sic] disagrees with Falwell is attacked as being an
immoral anti-american?  Attacked by whom?  How do you know?  And so on.
