annoyed the censors with:

Can we generalize just a bit more?
You dont have to be a fanatic to misunderstand or be misled in the
understanding of such concepts as God and truth. 

Not very good examples.

 I dont think 'most' christians would consider televangelists to be a
representative sample of their faith.

And their are many examples in the history of every major religion of
'politics' twisting religious belief to its own ends.
