"You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists adn this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense! I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist.

To Zambian President Frederick Chiluba, who in 1991 declared Zambia "A Christian Nation:" "Your country is a astandard for not only AFric but the rest of the world...Wouldn't you love to have someone like that as president of the United States of America?...The term 'Christian nation' seems to scare a lot of people in this nation of ours, but what Chiluba said is that it gives us a yardstick to measure the performance of the government.

His "anti-pornography" crusade involved fundamentalist ministers and missionaries joining forces with police to burn material they'd deemed obscene.)
