Now you've pissed off the moose
I had high hopes that this topic could discuss alternatives to the Christian right. Fat chance of that happening.
Golfer - That first posting of yours in this topic was really something else, and it wasn't a good something else. It clearly marked the point where this topic took a turn for the worst. Welcome to the Adminnemooseus ****list.

Arachnophilia, I don't know if you saw that message, but you were the prime "other member" I was thinking of. What's the matter with you two?

Topic abandonment alert
See topic title.
Also, message 1 was:
I have been wondering about the complaints I have been hearing from Christians who say that Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and James Dobson do not speak for them even though they are the three most prominent Christian political and religious figures in America today.
Clearly, all three are radical right-wing Fundamentalists and only represent a small but vocal minority of Christians in the US. However, they are the only prominent political Christian voices I ever hear, and this tends to color my view of American Protestant Christians overall.
Why is there no organized, vocal mainstream Christian opposition to these men, and if they do not represent "the rest of the Christians", who does?

"People that are irrelevant in this topic" is no longer a relevant subtitle!
Subtitles should contain some indication of the content of the message.

Short term topic closure coming soon
I suggest all review message 1 and the begining of the topic in general.
And, people, how about ditching that "irrelevant" message subtitle?

Topic reopened - Replay of message 1
The topic title is Who represents Christians if Falwell, Dobson and Robertson don't? You know, that sentence that appears prominently on every page having anything to do with the topic.
Message 1's content:

There is now a seperate James Dobson topic.

Repeating message 1 yet again

People, we're looking to discuss worldly people, that at least allegedly spread the teachings of Christ. As such, who are the alternatives to Falwell, Dobson, and Robertson?

Disregard of the topics theme - Closing for a while
1) Track down one of the messages with message 1's content (hint: there are 5 of them, and one is message 1).
2) Use that content to guide the content of your new messages.
