I think you're seeing the embers of theocracy burning. Fanned the wrong way and it could be not good for our country.
Intrestingly, as I watched Fox News this morning, the arrest of the family was reported as "staged" by them telling the police that they were going to do what they did. I also read that there was no water in the cups they held, but rather it was symbolic. The "arrest" of the children got alot of press and alot of Freeper sympathy. Actually my heart went out to the family, because as misguided as they may have been had their attemtp been real, their heart and soul was in the right place. Then I heard it was staged. Further, they were with Flip Benham, another person hell bent on sound bites and stirring the pots of the faithful.
Our county does need revival. But kooks like Benham and his followers like Daubenmire and this family only stain the credibility of those whose faith is scripture based rather than self based and using scritpture to support it.
WOW! I couldn't agree more -- that's despicable. Having Randall Terry for their spokesman doesn't sit well with me either.
After hearing Judge Bork on Hannity, I am beginning to wonder about the legal team representing the family -- where they came from, who is behind them, etc.
This is beginning to smell in more ways than one.
