80. Ha!

Seems like you're reaching the point over there where you can just laugh at these twits without having to worry that the drivel they spew will have a direct effect on policy. In most states, anyway. We call 'em "god botherers" over here.. always liked the term.

I worked as a lifeguard at summer camps in US run by an evangelical group (the Salvation Army) in my late teens and early 20's. Having seen the madness first hand, it can't have come too soon.

The SA isn't quite as bad as the really raging fundies, and they did do a lot of good, but I remember an attempted exorcism, someone calling me "of the devil" for playing Ozzy over the loudspeakers in the chapel (ok, I asked for that one..) and a group of nearly hysterical women bursting into a screening of poltergeist and physically standing between us and the screen to save our souls from the satan based propaganda we were watching.

Oddly enough they didn't find it very reassuring that the 5 or 6 of us in that darkened staff lounge were couples and paying far more attention to getting our hands under various articles of female clothing than we were the movie.

Effing fundies.. you can never please 'em!
