And most of those churches made a fairly public display of it since they wanted to remind people that the vast majority of xtians do NOT believe that the bible is the litteral word of god. The ID folks and the sun-around-the-earth folks are a small but sadly vocal and political minority that appear to want the US to function under the xtian equivalent of Sharia (sp?) law.<BR/><BR/>Definitely a tangent but I would very much like to see those people who state that the bible is the litteral word of god and must be obeyed to every letter wearing no clothes of blended material; following strict kosher rules; not allowing a menstruating woman to cook, cross running water, or work; and take a full year off of work and forgive all debts every 7 year. This "no premarital sex and we hate gays because that's what it says in the bible" but ignoring all else kills me.<BR/><BR/>MFNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
