Re: A note about the Atheist Legal Center, or at least its founder
Paul's query again raisesthe question of the List's purposes. My own view is that phrases like "Zionist-Occupied Government" and, in Paul's words,the speaker's "anti-Semitic self-promotion" do not belong on this List. I recognizeand admire Eugene's typical reluctance to censoremails posted to the List, but I do not see how such expressions have anything to do with a scholarly exploration of religion and government. That said, perhaps censoring the speech gives the speaker a credibility he certainlylacks.

Re: A note about the Atheist Legal Center, or at least its founder
Eugene: thanks for posting this. I ran into Darby when I testified in the Alabama Ten Commandments Monument case. Not someone I would care to spend time with again. We were presumably on the same side of the case -- against Chief Justice Moore's monument, but with allies like him I was wondering if I would be more comfortable hanging out with the other side. After your posting, I now have a better undertanding of him.
