>I **think** I have the kernal of the issue correct, in which case I can only conclude that this is a brand of "Christianity" that is about as confused as the radical Muslims

Jim;

I think your analysis is accurate and to the point! What separates the Evangelicals (rabid fundamentalist Christians) from the Muslims (rabid fundamentalist Muslims) is that we have more atomic weapons! Also the Evangelicals have the ear of President Bush.

Now if we could only convert all those Muslims and Jews to Evangelicalism then this worlds would be a happy place and we could all wait for the Second Coming!

Hallelujah brother! Send me your money and you are going to heaven!
