[QUOTE="was, post: 6349241, member: 24488"] I am glad that you did not take any offense at my statement for none was intended. I shall, however, break a cardinal rule and assume that you are not from the states. I may be mistaken, but I think my idea of being an ultraconservative may vary drastically from yours. Unfortunately, here we are saddled with a large number of independent churches that are unaffiliated with any larger religious organizations. Many of the religious leaders in these churches have extremely suspect ordainments. Without any oversight, many of these churches have become rabid in their beliefs and employ extremely offensive tactics to promote their viewpoints A classic example is the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas. They protest at soldiers funerals. My first exposure to them was in college. They staged an abortion protest carrying signs with pictures of aborted fetuses and wearing scrubs smeared in fake blood. At least, I hope it was fake. [/QUOTE]
