- It's a good thing that this newsgroup appeared after the pres. election.
- Had I known about that I would not have been able to sleep nights! It
- has always been my opinion that Bush is a lunatic, now I am convinced
- beyond all doubt.
-
- How about verifing another one? Before the election in which he won, I
- saw a photocopy of a newspaper in which Bush was quoted as saying that
- a Nuclear conflict (Read: world war III) could not only be survived, but
- won. Anybody have the particulars on that one?
-
- This just reinforces my belief that christian fundamentalists do NOT believe
- that the seperation of church and state is a good idea. If they could
- get away with it, they would eliminate it. (Although they wont admit it
- to an athiest or agnostic).
