Fall well and others have there place... they are not as obviously bad as the Bin Laden and Al Qaeda and the other radicals on our radar now... at least not outwardly....
However, they do launder money in similar fashions... and they do conduct massive social experiments by lying to people... misrepresenting their numbers and trying to convert people, and their energy through deception... They also have been found to conduct in behavior they won't allow others to... namely adultery... As for the Christian zeal for spreading the word, there are many countries they have gone in the name of humanitarian aid and really went to convert people... yeah convert them into consumers... label their lives as primitive and tell them what they know is wrong... Hell even a magician can be convincing if you don't pay attention and question things.... Religion can and will remain both the best and the worst thing... no matter what it is the most effective social opiate known to massively move and control people... Frankly, I have been waiting to see the Church of Walmart... consumerism and conservatism in one trip... -paris -----Original Message----- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 14:59 To: CF-Community Subject: RE: fallwell is a nutter - happy geo?? Is it fair to blame religion for the faults of the followers though? Does any religion _really_ promote hatred? It seems to me that most of the problems come from interpertation, not religion or faith in general. To simply say, "you must be able to prove it" (to provide my crude summary of the link below), is far to simple. Faith, and other icky hard to define things, like love, hate, etc, are part of us, and to simply write it off as unscientific is... well, sad. For every Falwell, there are thousands, if not millions, of people who use their faith in God/InsertNameHere to make their lives, and those around them, better. -RC > -----Original Message----- > From: Gary P.
