Cam,
Thanks for the Glen Beck lead. I can sometimes pull in the GR station in the morning, a 50,000 watt blowtorch it ain't.

I mistated myself in the GW thread, to the degree that I meant that religious groups are not persecuting others in western civilizations. The Jews were persecuted, and continue to be, for religious reasons, but the persecution prior to and during WWII was done by an atheist led government. The only serious religion led persecution I see currently involves Muslims. They seem to be willing to persecute any people or culture that is not Islamic. And, in regard to western civilization, the only persecution being done seems to be by Muslims against Muslims and non-Muslims. I continue to believe that Dog's comment was a cheap shot, ignoring the far greater good that religion has done in the world over what is really ancient history.
