>>His thought process is what has allowed attrocities to continue throughout our history. His willingness to believe that he has been ordaned to force his believes on others is truly dangerous. In his mind it allows him to do all kinds of things to others because he and the other members of the group he belongs to are so willing to be led.

>Hogwash. If more people truly believed as he seems to, the world would be a far better place. I don't think you've really read much of what he's said.

I'm not convinced. Now don't get me wrong. I do not think Howard is simple minded, or wrong headed or whatever. I simply think he is wrong. And as much as I debate him, I do respect that his conviction is real and works for him. On the other hand, if enough of us were to live exactly by the Bible (by whose interpretation, by the way) we would be killing homosexuals, stoning adultresses, warring with the 'enemies' of God, etc. Personally I do not think the world would be any better a place at all.
