While
Wiccans have concentrated on ministering to their own, others over the past
year have sought to proselytize non-believers to their own point of view.
Last October, a coalition of religious right groups unveiled a series
of television ads that argued that homosexuals can change their orientation
with the help of Bible-based
therapy.
This September and October, Southern Baptists sought to evangelize
Hindus
and Jews.
Giuliani
and the Brooklyn
Museum quarled over the use of excrement in Chris Ofill's 'Holy
Virgin Mary'. As the battle geared up, even Hillary
Clinton, the 106th
U.S. Congress, and our own GOP chairman Dale
McGlothlin got into the act.
And, after voting
for legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives to give states the
right to allow the display of the Ten Commandments in public places including
the public schools, Virgil
Goode along with a number of other house members agreed to publically
post the Ten Commandments in their Capitol Hill offices.
