At the expense of removing doubt about being thought of a fool, allow me to say briefly (a preacher that's "brief?" Sure:-) that the opinion under consideration is what makes a guy like me cringe because of "guilt by association" and the effort, like what you're reading now, to distance myself and the 95% of balanced and reasonable believers who reject such idiocy and irrational zealotry. Every movement, ideology, cause, or other such belief has irrational zealots--even the Mac cause has its share of wackos many of us would like not to be associated with. Following the posted link is an example of an element of Christian fundamentalism rarely seen beyond its own self-appointed pretentious smugness. Charles Moore of Applelinks commented on this article some time ago. This is the followup commentary<http://www.applelinks.com/articles/2002/04/20020424134215.shtml> to the original article <http://www.applelinks.com/articles/2002/04/20020423140855.shtml>. I do not purport to add to Moore's very fine analysis; I simply wish to point out Moore is a practicing Anglican very conscious of evangelical tendencies. Although I am not an Anglican, I'd say Charles & I could comfortably share a pew in each other's church. Take the time to read the analysis--it's worth it. -- Pax, Pastor Mac Made on a Macintosh, of course. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
