Well as long as those folks give themselves to Jesus when The Rapture comes. Otherwise, screw them. They’re going to hell too.

“Your editorial offensively questioned”

No, it flat-old declared invalid

“the spiritual integrity and Christian witness of tens-of-millions of believers who take seriously their civic and moral obligations”

I believe that these people take their civics every bit as seriously as they take their belief in the gospel of Christ.

Is it just my relative lack of exposure to the phenomenon, or does every important personality in the fundamentalist racket talk in that stupid hick accent? Even living in a relatively urbane part of the country, if I venture to move the vernier up and down the AM dial, about a third of the AM stations feature fundamentalist themes, and all of the voices on those stations sound like a uniquely belligerent and judgmental version of Huckleberry Hound.
