			Let me pee on your parade.
 Guys, I've grown up in the Bible Belt and have probably heard just
 about every protestant religion at some point or another, and I have
 never heard anyone in any of these religions spew such unadulterated
 crap. In fact, quite the opposite, many protestant religions are quite
 active in the environmental movement. I'm not talking about some wacko
 the has a congregation of 6, but any viable and active large
 congregation. Is this part of the creed of the Southern Baptist, the
 largest single protestant group in the the US? I can tell you that it
 isn't.
 
 I've come to the conclusion that the current fad of the left of blaming
 all the ills of the country on the Christian Right as an act of mental
 masturbation of a group that lost contact with the mainstream in 1968
 and never has caught up. Even in this election, the percentage of
 "Christian" voters was nearly the same as in past elections. But it's
 easier to blame the "Christians" than to admit that the party supported
 unpopular social views while failing to articulate a clearly defined
 alternative to the present administration.
 
 I personally feel that mindless superstition and senseless rituals are
 all that seperate us from the animals, but blaming the "Christians" for
 the failure of the Democratic party and the percieved lack of
 environmental concern of the present administration is laughable.
