Reagan's religious beliefs

[dannubis]

Reagan didn't know his front end from his back...

So color me shocked.

I disagreed with Reagan on almost everything. But when he referred to the U.S.S.R. as an Evil Empire, he hit the nail on the head.

I'd say with Reagan as president and Gorby the leader of the other nation in question you've got it about as backwards as you could possibly have it. Don't believe the lies.

I find this source lacking credibility for three reasons.

Reagan, in fact, was very interested in nuclear disarmament, and came close to agreeing with Gorbachev to total US-USSR nuclear disarmament at Reykjavik. (See, for example, John Newhouse's book "War and Peace in the Nuclear Age" (companion book to the PBS series,) among others.)

The author of this work is relying on notoriously unreliable sources such as Falwell and Robertson, as well as some mere hearsay testimony from a conversation reportedly held in 1971.

Finally, I also find that the author -- "a former staff member of the Program Agency of the United Presbyterian Church and later Associate for Faith and Order in the Theology and Worship Ministry Unity of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)--" has not presented any qualifications that indicate we should trust her historical analysis.

I'm not going to argue whether or not it's true that he said those things. You won't believe it anyway. Did you even look into it before you decided what to believe?

Yeah, I remember when he said that if the earth were invaded by martians that the USSR and the US would fight together against the invaders.

Seriously man, you can't believe that ****. He was a ****ing actor.
