-
- Who said anything about abortion above? Of course lots of Christians
- support legal abortion. What I'm saying is that M. Price's "disgust"
- about "blasphemy" is phony. I've known Christians of all shades and
- stripes, and from everything I've ever heard from them, M. Price's
- statement sounds as phony as a $3 bill.
-
- And that's even without taking into account his silence about Loren's
- talk about the "white-hot rages." With that, the statement becomes
- as phony as a $3.50 bill.

- Do you subscribe to M. Price's stereotype of how a Christian would
- respond to Suzanne's statement?

- Before I answer this question, could you please tell me what DOD
- stands for? Dear Old Doug, maybe?
