the Baptists or the Faux News Channel?

I don't watch TV, so I can definitely say no to the latter. But I am still a member of that church. I have had some, ahem, "loving confrontations" with many of the members over the last 20 or so months since the Chimperor declared Iraqis to be "evildoers."

It's a small town. There is the typical groupthink of rurals everywhere. The IQ level is lower than average. That's just a fact. The people in general are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. Many are proudly anti-intellectual. In fact, the entire Baptist mentality to some extent is grounded in anti-intellectualism.

I don't dislike these people. I view them as misguided. I really think they will most likely have to answer to God someday about their support of this naked aggression. Hey, maybe that should be my new tack. They start paying closer attention when someone accuses them of something having to do with getting "naked."

BTW, I certainly don't think I am any more righteous than any of them; I'm just not into mass killing of innocent civilians. I can never support that in the name of anyone's god. I think I'll have to answer to God for things I have done or not done that I least suspect are wrong right now as well. We see through a glass darkly and all that.
