Dave didn't put them in same camp, just pointed out that they're both seriously misguided. Personally I find Falwell much scarier, because I expect Americans to be reasonably educated and well beyond that sort of foolishness. Christianity and Islam are both belief systems people can use to make themselves feel better, or to control others. There's no evidence to suggest that either have any connection to reality, but both can be forces for good or evil. I would lump Bin Ladin and Falwell in the same camp as far as using religion for evil. It is interesting to see that Falwell believes the foolishness he spews rather than just being another con man taking advantage of superstitious people. A con man would never said something so insane and out of line as his comment that the gays, liberals, and ACLU are the reason for the attack. He's clearly a true believer.

Dear Lazarus,

Both you and Dave have serious emotional problems. You find Jerry Falwell scarier than a terrorist who has just killed 7,000 of your fellow citizens? How many would he have to kill in order to become the bigger monster: 70,000? Seven million?

"I would lump Bin Ladin and Falwell in the same camp as far as using religion for evil."

Let's see, so far Falwell has grown a church, founded a university, has funded numerous charitable works and - as of this moment has committed no murders. Not one, zero, nada. Bin Laden's religious activities include (but are not limited to) bombing embassies, the USS Cole, and the attack on the US which we have all witnessed. But to you, Falwell and Bin Laden are equally evil, and you fear Falwell more.

You are an idiot.

Furthermore, you and your kind are dangerous, because it's perfectly apparent that your hatred of fundamentalist Christians knows no bounds, is beyond reason, and puts you in the same mindset as Hitler. He also feared and hated a group of people, and had a solution.

Love and peace.
