Title: "Suppose you were an idiot; and suppose you were a member of Congress

I thought I told you not to mention that..... ;-) Shhhhh. Be vewy quiet. I'm hunting wabbits. Yeah, THAT'S the ticket....

Or if you think that Pat Robertson speaks for the Christian community at large (or James Dobson, or the late Jerry Falwell, or Falwell's son, or the latest descendant of Bob Jones)... Or if you think that Timothy McVeigh was a Christian (despite his saying that he was an atheist)... Or if you think that Christians condone the murder of abortionists... Then you MIGHT have a negative opinion of Christianity. I could go on, but I won't.

Also, while I would have expected some negativity toward Christian faith, the negative side of the ledger, close to a third, is pretty bad. How come ?   Public opinion of Islam is about where I would have supposed it would be. Even better ( that is, more negative ) than  I might have hoped.   Big failing with the poll, why no evaluation of Hinduism ?   I mean, it is the third largest religion in he world. _______________________________________________ Centroids mailing list: Centroids@radicalcentrism.com http://radicalcentrism.com/mailman/listinfo/centroids_radicalcentrism.com Archives at http://radicalcentrism.org/pipermail/centroids_radicalcentrism.com/ _______________________________________________ Centroids mailing list: Centroids@radicalcentrism.com http://radicalcentrism.com/mailman/listinfo/centroids_radicalcentrism.com Archives at http://radicalcentrism.org/pipermail/centroids_radicalcentrism.com/   _______________________________________________ Centroids mailing list: Centroids@radicalcentrism.com http://radicalcentrism.com/mailman/listinfo/centroids_radicalcentrism.com Archives at http://radicalcentrism.org/pipermail/centroids_radicalcentrism.com/
