[Phantom Lord]

When i watched her show a couple of nights ago she was still full of fire, passion, and energy. Seems she has recovered greatly and is doing well.

[Moleman]

All idiots? Oh really? How are Falwell and Robertson idiots?
Because they are zealots
Zealot = Idiot

[plain talk]

Being a Christian does not necessarily equal being a so-called zealot. So I don't agree with your assertion that they are zealots or that zealots are idiots. However, we could banter back and forth like this for ages. Whether you like Falwell or Robertson is really not that important. People can disagree on these things. What's important is whether you know Christ or not and have a personal relationship with him.
