Do you really think something like 'Do to others as you would be done'
would stand in the way of Mr. Falwell's and/or other zealots'
actions against something 'so obviously sinful and shameful in
the sight of God'?  I think a good example of this is the bombings
of abortion clinics and women's health centers across the country.
     
I've never quite understood how the Golden Rule and these groups (as
well as others) go together.  This sort of self-contradiction
sort of weakens their credibility in my eyes.
