Yes, I know many. Most of them are Lutherans and Presbyterians, and members of a very liberal (for them) Brethren congregation. Oh, and the members of the Sportsmen's Club.

The reason I do what I do is not because I'm unaware of them.

I do it because I see you crossing that line, and I want to give you a little jab. Eloquence is a terrible thing to waste.

To be honest, I have met maybe half a dozen people since college who hold the kind of extreme views you describe, and even in college not many. It was a Catholic school, so the closest we came was liberation theology, something which the Republican Party seems to be practicing nowadays. ;) But I believe there are more, just because the Law of Conservation of Extremists must be satisfied: for each extremist, there is an equal and opposite extremist. And remember, I live within easy driving distance -- literally -- of this, so I do believe in spooks, I do I do I do I do.

There are people out there who believe that Marx will eventually be proved right correct; there are also people who believe that Left Behind is not fiction, but prophecy, and the sooner the better. Ask me which group scares me more.
