I am interested in more information on what you describe as 'Xfy' and 'Xfn'. You said you were raised to be a Republican. I would like to hear more.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
By that I simply meant that I was raised to be a good, tax-paying, money-making, Republican-voting American. I was vaguely aware of the "under God" in the pledge and figured that some sort of higher intelligence was in place, but that's hardly the same as real Christian life. Now I'm frequently in trouble with churches, in-laws, and more "conservative" friends for questioning the moral superiority of America and the nation-state Israel, opposing the various persecutions that "Christian Right" types wish to put into law, and doing other things that make Jim Dobson's hair fall out.
