      <![CDATA[@many: Don't confuse intellectual rigour with having a solid factual underpinning. It is possible to construct a robust, internally consistent, intellectually rigourous belief system on a foundation of pure fantasy. Roman Catholic dogma is an excellent example of this. If you accept a few key foundational principles, it all makes sense from the inside.<br />
<br />
But from the outside, those key foundational principles are false and the whole, marvelously constructed, enterprise collapses.

      <![CDATA[I always thought that Gingrich probably didn't really care about gay people, in his own mind. Obviously he was perfectly happy to throw them under the bus to get power for himself, but I never saw in him the mix of obssession/fear/desire about gay sex that you get in a lot of those hardcore "family values" types. I bet as long as he has a never-ending supply of nubile female congressional aides (don't get sick, Callista!) he could actually care less what gay people do.

About the only thing all protestant churches have in common is that none of them take their marching orders from the guy in Rome with the pointy hat. However, I think the type of protestant fundamentalism that has flourished in the United States in the last 30 years is a religion founded by dumb people for dumb people.

The, mostly Catholic, folks at the National Organization for Marriage are a lot smarter than the, mostly Protestant, folks at the Family Researcher Council. Brian Brown is a conservative Catholic. I think we can all agree that he did pretty well against Dan in their dinner table debate. I don't think many fundie protestants could have pulled that off.
