A pat on the back.I just received my latest issue of Church & State and read Barry Lynn's "Perspective" ("The Alabama Debate: From 'Shout Shows' To Comedy Central," October 2003 Church & State). I thought I would neutralize at least one of those 2,000 negative e-mails you received recently by giving you an electronic pat on the back. I've heard you on radio interviews several times over the years, Barry, and it's heartening heart·en tr.v. heart·ened, heart·en·ing, heart·ens To give strength, courage, or hope to; encourage. See Synonyms at encourage. Adj. 1. to know someone like you is out there combating the self-righteous crowd who would like us all to live under their particular brand of theocracy theocracy Government by divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided. In many theocracies, government leaders are members of the clergy, and the state's legal system is based on religious law. Theocratic rule was typical of early civilizations. . I'm not a believer, and it's difficult not to get upset when I hear Jerry Falwell This article is about Jerry Falwell, Sr. For the article about his son, see Jerry Falwell, Jr. Jerry Lamon Falwell, Sr. (August 11 1933 – May 15, 2007)[1] was an American fundamentalist Christian pastor and televangelist. , Pat Robertson Marion Gordon "Pat" Robertson (born March 22 1930)[1] is a televangelist from the United States.[2] He is the founder of numerous organizations and corporations, including the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), , et al speaking out, but I'm perfectly content to share the country with individuals such as yourself, who know how wise it is to keep the spheres of government and religion separate. Thank you for your efforts. Gary Tillery Monterey, Calif. |
