this is one interesting article. kinda in line with the jesus cap thread, this whole army of christian soldiers is kinda freaky. i really hope blackwell goes down in flames in this election, he's got some frightening people backing him.

some of my fav quotes:

" invoking Martin Luther, he called for a spiritual army to “track down our adversary, defeat him valiantly, then stand upon his carcass.”

he spoke of the moment when “God broke into the world through the bloody flanks of a fourteen-year-old virgin.”

"He fulminates about homosexuality, and writes of Islam, “I do not believe that our country can truly fulfill its divine purpose until we understand America was founded, in part, with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed.” On the book’s jacket is a blurb from Ken Blackwell"

also ironic is the fact that the pastor spear-heading this nonsense was a bible school drop out. how the hell do you drop out of bible school? was understanding the stuff he preaches about simply too demanding?

    Very good article, I read that a while ago.

    Don't worry, soulsinging ... Blackwell is so far behind in the polls, there's no way he'll win unless a video surfaces of Ted Strickland eating a baby or something. Even Ohioans aren't crazy enough to put this nut job in the governor's mansion.

    And Mike DeWine keeps slipping further and further behind Sherrod Brown too. I can't wait until November :D
