He says at the beginning of a fairly lengthy post
"discussing" it.  :)

You may not.  Most of the people to whom Jeremiah was
speaking probably didn't think he was speaking for God
either.  (Once again, I'm not claiming Jerry is a
prophet.  I'm just pointing out what I see as faulty
in your argument.)

As far as numbers, sure.  But definitely not as large
a percentage.

I haven't heard anyone hear claim that yet.  I
Personally think he's Irish.

Can we say "huge speculation for the sake of an
argument"?

I belive that is a healthy perspective.  I remember
when I worked in a large Christian bookstore a few
years ago I was really frustrated because we carried
Rush Limbaugh's and Oliver North's books.  I like and
respect those people, and typically am in the same
boat with them, But I felt like to carry these books
(and not Al Gore's) was basically equating
Christianity with being a Republican.

Just a thought...
