LaHaye is definately an hardcore fundamentalist

That doesn't mean he thinks all this will happen now.

Boshko, you really are a mumbling idiot... stop speaking falsely and idiotically, then maybe I will understand. I have read Ronald Reagan's autobiography, very little religious related information in there. He always said he respects other people for what they believe in.

As much respect as I may or may not have for the views of fundamentalists, they are constitutionally obligated to keep their beliefs out of government.

Nationalist - you must be one of them! Burn him!

Seriously, though, there is a difference between being angry at intolerant fanatics and disenfranchising them.

It is well known that both Reagan and W are "born again". "Born agains" also believe in "the rapture" and that we are in the "end times." I have had so many unsolicited discussions with evangelical born agains, and everyone of them, that I have met, believe that Jesus is coming soon. All they are waiting for is for the third Jewish temple to built on the Dome of the Rock. Once that is done, supposedly Jesus will be on his way back. There is a slight problem with this plan. There is a Muslim temple currently standing on the Dome of the Rock. Maybe that is the reason why the fundamentalist righties support Israel so strongly?

This born again christian cult crap is making me sick. Everywhere I drive I see these damn fish on the car. What's really annoying is that they are worshipping Jesus, and not God. As an agnostic, and former Serbian Orthodox, that offends me because Jesus specifically said that he was not to be worshipped.

Most of the world's problems are due to religious people running governments. In the US, people have forgotten that the first amendment is freedom of religion as well as freedom from religion. In the 50's, they put "God" on our money, and "God" in our pledge. It's time we get "God" out of government.

[Urban Ranger]

Since the US government is supposely secular, it helps if the officials have no religous views. It will be much easier to formulate non-religious policies this way.

[Goingonit]

True, UR, but that would be discriminating against those who do have religious views by not letting them hold office. As it stands, they just need to realize that they are citizens of a country where church and state are separate.

I have read Ronald Reagan's autobiography, very little religious related information in there. He always said he respects other people for what they believe in.

"When he was governor of California, cooperated with an effort to have the State of California mandate that theories of "creation" be taught alongside evolution in the public schools. Similarly, after Reagan was elected President in 1980, he answered a question about evolution at a press conference by saying that he didn't think that scientists believed in evolution as much as they had used to. Embarrassment over this incident resulted in Reagan avoiding the issue from then on, although he did not avoid political allies whose Fundamentalist credo was undoubtedly hostile to evolution and all its works.

Sorry Che, but this is probably the stupidest thread that I've seen in a long time. I didn't know where I was going to get my "paranoid conspiracy" fix from after the X-Files went off the air, but 'Poly seems to be filling the void quite nicely. The US government working in secret to bring about the "End Times"?

[Strates]

Hmmmm... I guess religion is just a bunch a crap... I only build one church in my Tropican paradaise.

Fez, can you upload your game to see your paradaise?

Taught alongside evolution? So what is the problem with that? Those who believe in evolution will certainly strengthen their own views in evolution after they here creation. Reagan didn't even mention one thing about creation or evolution anywhere in his autobiography but he said he respects other viewpoints. Again your idiocy is apparent.

Strates, I am not uploading nothing.

[Boris Godunov]

Fez, you don't honestly see no problem with teaching Creationism alongside Evolution in a science course, Mr. Proud Athiest, do you?

[Dauphin]

Creationism is not science and should not be taught as such. It can be taught as a seperate subject in general education classes - perhaps a basis for discussion/debating groups. That is a far better place for it.
