    Who's afraid of the religious left? After Saddam Hussein was captured, David Frum wrote for National Review Online, "it's becoming increasingly difficult to doubt that God wants President Bush re-elected." While I'm not a believer as yet, doubt is certainly not difficult for leftists; even the faithful are all Doubting Thomases on this one. Salon magazine recently interviewed Rev. Albert Pennybacker, head of the Clergy Leadership Network. The organization is described as "a cross-denominational group of liberal and moderate religious leaders seeking to counter the influence of the religious right and to mobilize voters to change leadership in Washington."

    Should Christians be upset by court's decision on Pledge of Allegiance? http://www.razormouth.com/cgi-local/npublisher/viewnews.cgi?category=all&id=1025337683 ------- You must be living under a rock if you haven’t heard the news. Two “pin-head” federal judges said that mentioning God in the Pledge of Allegiance violated the First Amendment rights of second-graders (more correctly, one second-grader’s parent). The pin-head label came from the Rev. Jerry Falwell. He also called them “Dumb and Dumber”—of course he meant that with love. Something must be wrong with me. The news didn’t shock me, surprise me, worry me, anger me, or cause me to cry. I’m wondering why it caused...
