My deepest apologies -- I did not intend to condemn all evangelicals, nor
did I even intend to condemn all *TV* evangelicals.  On re-reading I realize
that you are very correct in your interpretation and I should have been
more specific in my attack.  To be more specific, in fact, I would say
that my original article should apply to all of, but not just, the following:

Jerry Falwell
PTL Club *
Earnest Angesley (sp?)

* I must give the PTL Club some respite, however; since I must acknowledge the
  joy and gales of laughter my friends and I enjoyed whenever we were a little
  down and turned to our television set and Tammy Baker for comic relief.  It
  worked every time -- 20 minutes of watching Tammy Baker could make any of us
  realize that our lives just weren't that bad -- we would end up hanging our
  heads in shame at our earlier self-pity and say, "There but for the grace of
  self-respect go I."

Thanks for pointing out my faulty implication so I could set the record
straight -- I am very sure that there are many worthy evangelicals out there --
too bad they don't have the power of the Falwells of this world with which
to work their good...
