39. Your experience is not universal.

I've known plenty of Pentecostals, dealt with them personally and in business, and I do not experience
what you're talking about at all. In other words, I don't agree. I can't bring these people here
or show a video, but they exist.

There are plenty of religions that set themselves apart. I don't agree with that, but I'm not a member and they can do what they want.

As far as the first amendment goes, that was introduced to clam you want to ban them. I referenced that in terms of tolerance embedded in the constitution. No straw man intended nor do I think or mean to imply that you want them banned.

You seem to be saying - the religion is a cult, she's a member, therefore she's a cultist. To me, that's not really the issue with Palin. She's an opportunist, she's ill informed, she has political associations that are repellent, and a record that is remarkably flawed considering the short time she's been in politics.

There are bigger issues regarding Palin and raising them doesn't condemn and/or offend an entire group.

I think that you stated your case well, particularly considering the broad assertion, I simply don't agree for the above reasons.

Now I'll hit return.
