Below is one paragraph of a Harper's Mag article that is damned scary. And I'm dead serious about that. I now understand just how the US Air Force Academy became the fundie training center that it is. The rest of the article is at:

And here's just one paragraph:
"Pastor Ted, who talks to President George W. Bush or his advisers every Monday, is a handsome forty-eight-year-old Indianan, most comfortable in denim. He likes to say that his only disagreement with the President is automotive; Bush drives a Ford pickup, whereas Pastor Ted loves his Chevy. In addition to New Life, Pastor Ted presides over the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), whose 45,000 churches and 30 million believers make up the nation's most powerful religious lobbying group, and also over a smaller network of his own creation, the Association of Life-Giving Churches, 300 or so congregations modeled on New Life's "free market" approach to the divine. "
These people are like bin Laden's people....absolutely dedicated to what they believe they are meant to do....
Wrap...
