...but he has some good points here.

I have to disagree. I listened to his rant this morning and felt he was making a mountain out of a molehill. There can't be more than a few people who believe in a flat earth, etc. I am nearly 70 years old and have travelled the U.S. for decades. I have worked around people of almost every walk of life. A large majority of these people consider themselves Christians. Many of my friends and acquaintances are what you could call "devout Christians." Never in my life have I heard anyone I have come in contact with express the beliefs presented on these web sites. Never in my life have I ever heard any Christian express support for a theocracy. Boortz sounded to me like an angry atheist just trying to work up something over nothing.

I notice the man will not allow anyone to bring up abortion on his talk show, but he sure did today. I suppose if a woman is raped, it is the resulting baby's fault and it deserves to be killed. At least Boortz thinks so.

It makes it easier for them (meaning those who like to believe they operate solely on logic and science) to justify disbelief in their own minds if they can marginalize those who adhere to the Christian faith. Thankfully, not all who do not adhere to the Christian faith behave that way.

Unfortunately there are quite a few people who call themselves conservative who believe that life was like The Flintstones.

What has happened is that the GOP turned into the God Squad and as a result the whacko fringe found a voice when it came to social and religious issues.

That's an extreme case. But there are a large number of people in our movement who, for example, believe nonesense such as the Earth being less than 10,000 years old, or that man and dinosaurs coexisted, or deny that humans have common ancestry with apes. In some parts of the country, such people make up a majority of GOP voters!

This is scary, IMHO.
