I suggest you read the article on evangelicals in this month's issue of Vanity Fair. It will go along way to explaining people like Howie's thought process. And why you shouldn't even bother.

I read half the article at lunch today. It explains a lot of what these people believe. And why it's so dangerous. As well as ignorant. I used to say they wanted to take us back to the 16th century as a saying. Now I know they really, trully do.

The basic gist is you are either a born again christian who will be saved by j.c. or you are a member of the devils army who needs to be destroyed.
