Re: OT - I may be in the minority

It's really no different than Muslims. Most of us believe they are a religion based on hatred. THere are those Muslims who say they are not. Most of us don't pay them much mind because of what we see being done my the big-mouth zealots. Same thing here. Some may consider Falwell and his ilk idiots and laughing stock, but they are no laughing matter. A good number of people hang on their every word as if it comes from the throne of GOd himself.

I certainly won't deny that there are some prominent figures out there, putting a nasty face on the whole religion. However, people with any sense know that you just can't use a wide brush to paint ANY large group of people. Anyone who uses their religion to further a personal agenda is straying pretty far from its intent, IMO.
