Let's be absolutely clear - this does not mean all Christians. The
majority of Christians in the US believe in gentle persuasion at

worst
and a true live-and-let-live attitude (as the Constitution

encourages),
as long as their own beliefs are not used against them.

There are crackpots in every religion. They are not the norm. Yes,

we
need to be cautious, but no, we do not need to be paranoid. I

refuse
to be worried to distraction by any group.


Considering that the US is more secular and more tolerant
now than at any time in the past, I'd say you hit the nail on
the head.


That's not the problem. The Christian fundie zealots are planning to
seize power WITHOUT the consent of the general public. Most revolutions
have had the support, either active or passive, of at least a plurality
of the population. You need only look around you to see that rabid
Christian zealots are not the norm, yet the small portion of the
population who are rabid zealots want to use the mechanisms of democracy
to seize power and then force their narrow interpretation of Biblical
law on the rest of us without our consent. They want nothing less than a
Christian Iran, with preachers and other self proclaimed "men of God" in
power who will not be subject to anybody but God. Seeing that God isn't
around to tell them what to do, they're free to go hog wild and make up
their own version of Biblical law, then force it on an unwilling public.
