[edit] Email interview as reference

On 25 December 2004 I received an email from Marvin Olasky after asking him to look at the article and suggest revisions. Some of the information he gave me I have not been able to confirm using other sources (such as his birthdate), but I have included this information anyway, and cited my email interview in the references section. I am not sure what the protocol is for problems like this. I could make available the email he sent me, but it would be difficult to prove its source. If you think changes are necessary, please let me know and, if you like, make those changes. --Spangineer ∞ 03:39, Dec 26, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Zeus, Zeus, Zeus!

Why is there no mention of the bizarre "religion of Zeus" thing? That was his 15 minutes of semi-fame -- there are probably a fairly large number of people who have never heard of him except in connection to the "religion of Zeus"... AnonMoos 01:44, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Please enlighten me; I've never heard that story. --Spangineer^[es] (háblame) 12:20, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

It was in a lot of papers at the time -- he said he opposed the McCain candidacy because it was the equivalent of the "religion of Zeus". Frankly, I wonder how many times Olasky has received mentions in "ordinary" newspapers (i.e. not the New York Times or the Washington Post, and not in a syndicated op-ed piece) which were NOT in relation to the "religion of Zeus".
