I thought that was my point.

Well, if you mean it literally, I disagree. As the article says; in exorcism, demons are driven from a person by means of prayer.

"By your rationale, that means Americans are bad."

Are you Euorpean by any chance? Just kidding.

What I am trying to say is I don't trust fanatics. Not of any stripe. I'm not calling you one since I don't know you.

Hell, most fanatics in this country are secular.

But the most dangerous fanatics in The World now are ones who prevert religon to thier own aims. Do you disagree?

This happend in the past and those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

Me either. Most fanatics can more accurately be referred to as radicals.

Right there is a good reason for everyone to remember history.

It would seem better had they been Jesus' pigs. Unfortunately for the herdsman who evidently had his swine, and livelihood stolen though, they weren't.

Not particularly rabbinical. I've always thought that story somewhat unsettling.

Though may God forgive us, all.

Though I really like "Going My Way", which just ended on TCM.

No. I was speaking in general terms. I'm glad to say we have some common ground.

I haven't seen that movie in over twenty years. I bet it would be a hard one to find at a rental store.

I just looked at the TCM website. It looks like they feature a lot of good films. That strikes me as surprising in light of liberal Ted Turners bias.

Anyway, I just read the review of the film on Amazon. They have some used at only $3.50. I'm considering it. Thanks for the tip.
