The tenets and beliefs of the currently-wingnut-status mainstream of that faith are a bit much for most intelligent people to swallow, unless they feel they have to, IMHO.
Just a thought.

i hear ya! well-put. who'd a thunk that we'd actually get some intelligent and well thought-out stuff on this forum? well actually i do have to hand it you guys (and chicks), there's some purty intelligent and thoughtful folks here. funny too! must be all the oxygen we get to our heads from ridin' so much!!
there are though, i think, some american politicians who truly believe in jesus and christian tenets in (what is in my opinion) the "proper" way--i'd say jimmy carter for instance. i really don't think he is just "paying lip service to the bulk of [his] demographic." (i don't know if he rides fixed or not.)
anyway, interesting points all.
