All of the people I know that many here call 'wackos', are loving kind souls, who are very giving, humble people. Their first purpose is to always try to help, not hinder, any one in need. And I have never known them to try and convert those who are helpless to 'wackoism'.


If being kind and giving is considered being a wacko here, than let me be the first to raise my hand and declare I am a wacko, not just a Christian, but according to many, a full out bozo wacko for my beliefs.


Goodnight.

1. I think "wacko" refers to the Jerry Falwells and Pat Robertsons

I would never call a person wacko because of his or her religious belief, but I have called both the above mentioned people wacko, so there you go. I don't know why there would be a difference, but there is. Maybe it's the whole charlatan thing involving Falwell & Robertson and their ilk.

5. Add a few Rabbies and Immans to the radical, list

If you really want to complete the list there are a few Hindu leaders as well as Shinto.

And those are the ones who come to mind when I think of religious whacko... But hey, I'm quite ecumenical about it.

11. You are so right

Wackos span all religions. Honestly, I think the wacko part precedes the religious part. It's just that religion, by its very nature, lends itself to being usurped by all sorts of wackadoodles.

19. "...usurped by all sorts of wackadoodles..."

Not unlike the American political system, for example...

21. I believe in God. But I don't consider myself religious.

I also don't believe in telling other people they have to believe like me.
