Charles, I have been in more then one Church over the past three years and have seen similar thing being said. It was real bad right before the last Presidential election. The sermons would get hot and heavy, a few time the wife and I thought of walking out is was so bad. But that would of drawn the whole congregations attention!

I can attest to the fact not only the Pastor or Deacons would say thing along these lines. Then most if not the whole congregation would say an amen.

Things like being the Anti-Christ, end of the world and the Muslims were going to take over the U.S.A. and such .

Hell, you guys may be right for all I know.

I go to church for two reasons.

One, somebody falls over dead and I'm compelled to go to their funeral. Most of the time, I don't like the sumbitch, but I go anyway.

Two, they hire me to work on the damn thing.

Now there's no doubt in my mind that the majority of the Christians are sour on the Muslims, and vice versa. It's been like that since the Crusades.

And when the snake kissers get together, they can get almost as cranked up as a bunch of liberals on Politicalchat.org, But once they get it out of their system, they're pretty much like everyone else.

They stop and think about it, they realize it ain't worth the effort.

Have you ever considered that perhaps you're overreacting?

"That we are yet again debating evolutionary theory and Earth’s origins — and that candidates now have to declare where they stand on established science — should be a signal that we are slip-sliding toward governance by emotion rather than reason."

Nothing good can ever come from that.

I wonder what they would say when I remind them that the Bible was written by men (pretty chauvinistic ones at that) and that God did not fax it down.
