When people belittle my faith or lack thereof(I'm an atheist), that's okay because they are concerned and that's how they show their concern.

Once again I differ, in the D&D system I would hardly consider J. Falwell to be LG. Just look at his stand on apartheid, where he stands for modern slavery. I will admit that he believes himself to be LG and I'll bet Hitler did also. -)------ Charlie ------(- Let's argue over a point ;-) ARPA: speegle@ut-ngp.UTEXAS.EDU UUCP: {allegra,ihnp4,seismo,ctvax}!ut-sally!ut-ngp!speegle I'll bet comparing Falwell to Hitler gets some flames started ;-)

I'm not going to flame you for your comparison. It's really quite accurate. Let's look at the facts: Hitler: Hitler believed that all those who he felt where not "true" Germans (his Ubermansh) were standing in the way of the ascent of those who were (in his opinion) the "true" German. These "false" Germans included Jews. Falwell: Falwell believes that all those who are not "true" Christians are interfering in the good works of those who are "true" Christians. Some "false" Christians are (in his opinion) blacks, liberals, and (let us not forget) Jews. Interesting similarities, no? I wonder if Jerry Falwell considers Adolph Hitler a "true" Christian.
