Milu, I'm totally down with that. The Undead Webmaster had some pretty useful insights on Satanism; I'm always open to examining new ideas, and he certainly has some "out of the box" stuff. Actually, according to his definition, I think that "out of the box" ought to define his beliefs. (shrug)

Don -- The Spanish Inquisition was an act of God in exactly the same way that installing a Chevy V-8 in the front of a 911 is an act of Porsche. Putting a Porsche Turbo badge on the back of your Honda doesn't make it faster, and isn't necessarily supported by "the faithful followers of Ferry." Just because someone "invokes the name of God" doesn't mean that God actually endorses or supports what they're doing.

Separation of Church and State: I'm down with that, too. We've given up prayer in schools, posting the 10 Commandments in public places, and teaching Creation. Now wouldn't it be nice if the other religions would do the same? The Christians have backed out of government -- but what about the Buddhists, who are allowed to teach in schools, or the Atheists, who espouse their philosophies from college podiums around our country, or Evolutionists -- who despise the name "religion," but cannot deny the fact that Evolution is as much a religious teaching as Creation is. You advocate this separation of church and state, but only inasmuch as it removes Christianity from your view.
