Art,
I can understand where you are coming from, and believe it or not, I do understand the other posters.
But what I think is missing is the critical distinction between Christianity that is quietly practiced by millions of spiritual Americans and the 'Christianity' that is preached by Falwell, Robertson, et.al. as a political force.
If I may borrow a word, I am rabidly anti-fundamentalist, to the point where I can barely listen to the above individuals. But on the flip, some of my best, most worthwhile times have been spent in quiet community with other Christians in religious houses, both in San Francisco and in various places in Colorado.
To me they are 'pearls of great price' whose value goes beyond dollars.
If this particular house is just a lobbying tool by the moral majority, then I will also denounce it, but that isn't what the article says or implies.
