What's sad is that email & talk of this nature plays on our fears and often stirs us up into an unreasoned frenzy. Once my wife pointed out to the sender of a mass email of this type - that falsely claimed Obama was sworn in on a Koran - that the claim was false. Immediately the sender accused her of being a liberal, socialist, Obama-lover or somesuch. Often, if you simply ask one seized with such fervor to check their facts and to not spread slander, you are immediately painted to be an enemy of God & America & well... you get my point. Finally, are we viewing the cancellation of <i>Touched By an Angel</i> as a bad thing? Just askin'. SN, Thanks for the Christian rumors link.
