- Koop is a very staunch fundamentalist Christian, just in case
- you couldn't figure that out. He spoke two months ago at my church, and
- it is interesting how 1) his leanings and beliefs almost disqualified him
- from the position of Surgeon General, in which a religious belief should not
- be considered, and 2) he became an effective anti-AIDS crusader, advocating
- policies (such as distribution and use of condoms) which make fundamentalist
- crusaders pale.
