I got this little mailing from Walter Chronchite and the Interfaith Alliance of which my church is a member.
"The Religious Right claims to speak for every person of faith. But do they speak for you?
"I really believe that the pagans, and the aortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle... I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'"
--Jerry Falweel, speaking about the September 11 terrorist attacks, The 700 Club
"You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians [me] and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that and the other thing. Nonesense. I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist."
--Pat Robertson, The 700 Club
"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."
--Pat Robertson, The Washington Post
"Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a biblical duty, we are called by God to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism."
--Randall Terry, Indiana News Sentinel.
"Women are less equipped to physically 'stay on course' in the brawling areas of business, commerce, industry, and the professions."
They say I'm disturbed. Well, of course I'm
disturbed. I mean, we're all disturbed. And if we're not, why not? Doesn't this
blend of blindness and blandness want to make you do something crazy? Then why
not do something crazy? It makes a helluva lot more sense than blowing your
fucking brains out. -Mark Hunter
