Innovative? I don't think so. How does this really differ from any other special interest group. Besides the fact that they already have a "pre-packaged" audience in the congregation?
They're pushing their agenda. So what? I'd expect no less.
Bear in mind, the
true Bible thumpers are a minority. Most Christians (the ones that I know, anyway) are not anywhere
near that venomous. What the Fundamentalists
do have going for them is that the're extremely vocal. If the "majority" is going to remain apathetic, then they deserve what they get.
This message has been brought to you by an atheist in the Bible belt. You may now return to your regulary scheduled bickering.
