   Thanks for the warning. Fortunately, I've been inoculated. :-)

   This is the kind of thing I was talking about when I said that they call   
   themselves Christians with the implication that they are the only true   
   Christians. If they've started using "Judeo-Christian" for themselves   
   now too, perhaps they adopted it because it looked impressive, without   
   understanding its history.

   Irony is evidently lost on this guy.   
      
   ...   
      
   >How about that? :-)   
      
   Ah, the joy of hate-mongering. :-)
