Here is my favorite passage: "So, it may be time to admit that our tolerance of Christian fundamentalists is turning us into a nation of chumps. By claiming it is they who are being persecuted, the Christian Taliban have cowed mainstream Christians and secularists into silence, even as they impose their own faith-based governance upon us."Mary Akershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05190983234403757377noreply@blogger.com
