Even years after the cheat is exposed

7. I used a WC Fields quote.

Now, where did I paint all Christians with the broad brush your accusation implies?

I am aware there are liberal Xians. I applaud Moral Mondays, as well as ML King's approach to civil rights debate.

Another quote, from A Lincoln, on the civil war:

"Both (sides) read the bible day and night. One sees black, the other, white."

And, Shakespeare:

"Even the devil can use scripture for his purposes."

Of course, you missed the point entirely, jumping up to yell "persecution."

I don't care if people continue to believe the obvious frauds, such as televangelists, faith healers, witch doctors, shamans, seers, etc. I do question their intelligence, given the abundance of evidence. That's my right.

And, as for gov't services, you're right, there are tons of loopholes. Taxing churches that dabble in politics would go a long way toward addressing them.
