Christian Right is the most dangerous mass movement in US histor

As soon as they start strapping bombs on themselves and crashing planes I'll be a bit more concerned about them.

FYP. I'm concerned.

There is a documentary called "Friends of God" on HBO, should be on VOD, I recommend watching it. The scary thing about this entire movement is:

1. How sincere its minion low level believers are in their beliefs;

2. How power hungry and hypocritical the people who take advantage of the minions' sincerity are; and the fact that

3. The minions are so gullible that when one of their leaders is outed for the glutton or worse that he is, a new leader comes up and says, well that guy sure fell to to the dark side, but I am saved. Minions buy this and continue to slave away.

If this movement is not stopped, our society will not be much different from that of the islamo-facist regimes we are currently trying to overthrow because they do not allow freedom.

What's sad about this whole mess is that the only way to defeat these mideval superstitions is through education, and they know this. Hence their full out assault on preventing schools from teaching anything that could lead their minions into scepticism...

Or lobbying to ban vaccinations for cancer because they see it as a conflict for their religion.

Or they influence the FDA on whether or not certain forms of birth control are allowed in the US.

Or they begin influencing international relations to allow certain Biblical prophecies to be fulfilled.

Or they weaken a woman's right to choose.

Yeah, sending someone else to do their dirty work is completely different and not at all crazy.

And it's not as if people associated with fringe Christian movements haven't been associated with blowing up [censored] like abortion clinics and the Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta.

The Christian Right or Muslim Right or Atheist Left or whatever are all non-issues otherwise.

Nice instant pointless hyjack.

MidGe was interested in objections, and bill's objection was relatively clear. It is a good point and hardly a hijack.

I'll add to bill's point that I believe there is little difference in the danger posed by Christian fundies telling me what I should and shouldn't do at the barrel of a gun and socialists telling me what I should and shouldn't do at the barrel of a gun. Neither side is satisfied without everyone around them marching to their own personal tune, whether they like it or not.

But you do concede, right, that 'radical Christians' or whatever we're calling them do indeed blow [censored] up from time to time, right? I don't know of any suicide bombings, at least in the US, so they don't "strap bombs to themselves". But at the very least, they do leave them at the front door of Planned Parenthood and strapped to the cars of abortion doctors. That is, when they don't assassinate the doctors standing in their kitchen at home first.
