I read a fairly creepy article about this very influential group of fundies who seek to create a theocracy a few weeks ago, I can't remember which magazine it was in (possibly it was The Atlantic or New Yorker). They're in the news now because they're subsidizing the accomodations of six congressmen. The article I read a while back was by a reporter who claimed to have infiltrated them, and his firsthand experience was fairly creepy ("Brothers, let us thank Jesus for the game of Bounce*" being the mild stuff). Anyway, the writer said a lot of fairly important people are involved in this group. Does anyone have any other information about these people? What's your view on religious groups subsidizing congressional housing?

*A game based on basketball in which the low level men vent their anger by throwing basketballs at each other's baskbetballs to prevent one another from scoring, and also throw basketballs at each other and claim it to be accidental, all the while continuing their Jesus talk.

This is the second thread today on this issue (and about the fouth in the past year.) The earlier one is at:

Since it already has some discussion, I will close this, refer you to that one, and edit its title to be more descriptive.
