i had planned to tack this on to an existing thread, but which one?
the one about some christians thinking (and saying) that people outside their belief system are enternally doomed?
the one about obama carefully skirting the gay issue for fear he may alienate black evangelicals who, as a group, may well be one of the most anti-gay blocs in america?
the one where al sharpton is called a nutjob? (oh wait, technically, that's this one)...
* oh, if you get the pop culture reference of the thread title, you get a cookie.

In a discussion about the James Dobson attacks on Obama I posted about yesterday, Anderson Cooper hosted Al Sharpton, author Roland Martin and Family Research Council President Tony Perkins. As the three debated Evangelicals and the issues of homosexuality, HIV and AIDS, abortion, and religious tolerance, the conversation took a turn when Sharpton pointed out that Anderson may land in Hell for his behavior, whatever that might be...
Says Sharpton: "I may have some very conservative personal feelings but I feel you have the right to live your life differently. I may think that what you do Anderson is gonna put you in Hell, but I'm gonna defend your right to get there."
