Welcome to Doomsday by Bill Moyers

"There are times when what we journalists see and intend to write about dispassionately sends a shiver down the spine, shaking us from our neutrality. This has been happening to me frequently of late as one story after another drives home the fact that the delusional is no longer marginal but has come in from the fringe to influence the seats of power. We are witnessing today a coupling of ideology and theology that threatens our ability to meet the growing ecological crisis. Theology asserts propositions that need not be proven true, while ideologues hold stoutly to a world view despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality. The combination can make it impossible for a democracy to fashion real-world solutions to otherwise intractable challenges."

2. As Moyer correctly points out

The biggest threat we have against America today is the evangelical movement and the psychosis they carry with them.

Al-Queda is small potatoes compared to the death and destruction these people will bring. But then again that is their history if people would only look.

3. I've been saying that about RW church people for about 20 years

And nobody would believe me. I'll pass this article on to some people I know and maybe they'll wake up!
