-<blockquote>"One of the misconceptions about evangelicals in the U.S. is that they're all as extreme as Swaggart, [[Jerry Falwell|Falwell]] and [[Pat Robertson|Robertson]]. They're not. Most of them just want to worship at their local church. They don't give a shit about those guys on television -- they think they're clowns and that what they do cheapens everyone's religious experience. On this, we definitely agree."</blockquote>
