Not only that.... it really ****es off a lot of Christians, because

idolatrous worship....

presents and wouldn't want them, if they did.... *there are Christian
homes with absolute prohibitions against anything associated with

Don't be so quick to paint all Christians with that broad brush.

The Daily Kos told them it was mainstream thinking... This is crazy, I
don't put all liberals with Farrakhan (who has a lot more influence on
