Um.. so a person who leads the country according to his own morals means the loony fringe is leading the country?

I'm sorry, but you seriously need to research some of the groups you put out there. I've been to the Officer's Christian Fellowship, as well as their brother group Fellowship of Christian Athletes. None of them teach the Rapture, none of them teach how abortion is wrong, they don't do anything harmful to anyone.

You know what they DO do? they support family members of those wounded or killed in battle. They support families of members who's parents fall ill, are unemployed, etc. And on their meetings they simply have a good time, talk a little about religion, and organize fundraisers for the community.

OH THE SKY IS FALLING!

Sorry Host, but you must come to realize that close to 90% of the US is religious. And those religious people more often than not follow their beliefs on what is wrong and right. And those beliefs are more often than not carried into the ballot box.

I'm sorry I dont buy your argument that global warming, an unstable Middle East, etc., are all because a bunch of radicals are trying to bring about the apocalypse.
