	I wouldn't doubt it. The stronger the religion, the worse the evils 
have to be. They are partners. One must have the other.

	There was a series a few years ago, called "The Pagan Invasion". It was 
broadcast on one of the national Religion channels. I used to watch it 
because there was some pretty decent 3-D animation in it. (for the time) 
But when you saw what those folk believed in, it was downright scary.

	If those folk were to come into power, there is no doubt that the Salem 
Witchcraft trials would be a role model for government.

	Well, its a pretty good thing if you happen to be worshiping the same 
God.....
