The Denver Post (16/Dec/97) reports that among the recipients in Colorado of Esquire magazine's Dubious Achievement Awards (Bill Husted's column on page 2A) was the well-deserved recognition of the Promise Keepers as 'Cult of the Year.'
Promise Keepers: Trying to Take Away Human and Civil Rights
Ken Young:
How can "fundies" destroy or even attempt to destroy the
next generation of children?
Mark Kimes: (mkimes@ibm.net)
By ruining what's left of the education system, for one example. Teaching
religion as science will really produce a generation of great
thinkers, right?
Will they pray to their CRTs to stop their computers from crashing instead of installing their hardware and software properly? Will they finally throw up their hands and say "God doesn't want me to work today" instead of checking to see if the thing's plugged in?
When you take education away from a child, you effectively cripple the child.
Ken Young:
fictional anti-freedom agenda
Mark Kimes: (mkimes@ibm.net)
What's fictional about the desires of fundamentalists to selectively
eradicate civil rights and constitutional protections?
Funny, how you see demons in medical conditions, a young earth in a universe billions of years old, conspiracies where there obviously are none, but ignore things like Pat Robertson clearly calling for the extermination of gays, the institution of censorship, and the tearing down of the wall between church and state.
