13-Apr-2006
Written by: Jennifer O'Reilly
Even though I wanted this day to come, I’m still sad to see our sweet
southern friend make his exit.
We all knew this day had to come. We were waiting for it. Bucky haters have
been drooling over the prospect of seeing the country boy teary eyed while
watching his “I had a bad day” montage. I have made more than my share of
sarcastic comments about Bucky’s less than stellar singing abilities. So why
do I feel so sad? |

It is an axiom among fundamentalists and evangelicals that theology is the

foundation, they fear, ethics would fragment into total relativism of

view by showing how some organized religions are parasitical to the body of
ethics and how the Bible itself exemplifies moral relativism.
