The ilk of Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Oral Roberts and their vile mouthpiece, Rush Limbaugh spew hatred and intolerance. They utterly reject the teachings of Jesus and base their vile beliefs on the ugliest, most anti-Christian parts of the Old Testament they can find. Jesus said he brought a "new law". But these guys don't like Jesus' law very much. They prefer the ugliness of the worst of the Old Testament passages.
They are indeed as close to the anti-Christ as I can imagine because they teach the opposite of what Jesus taught. They deliberately corrupt Christianity by turning it into a politial tool for the modern pharasees, the very rich who pay these guys to get the poor and middle class to vote against their own interests. As a result, the largest transfer of wealth from the poor/middle class to the wealthy that the world has EVER seen has occurred under George Bush. (Learn a little bit about economics and check out the indicators for the past 8 years. The pattern is as obvious as a huge boil on the end of your nose).
These fundamentalists want to force their beliefs on everyone else. Since persuasion has not brought enough followers into their "Elmer Gantry" world, they want to use politicians to tax us so we will be forced to support their brand of Christianity. Jesus said, "Give unto Ceaser that which is Ceasar's and to God that which is God's". But they want "Ceasar" to give your money to their personal churches--and nobody belongs to all their churches. Therefore, if they get their way, all of us will be financially supporting churches to which we do not belong. How unAmerican is that?
Some of these guys are Southern Baptists, some are Pentacostalists, others are of other denominations. They all share one key characteristic: They hate the America founded by our forefathers--Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Adams, Thomas Paine, etc. They do NOT support the U.S. Constitution which specifically forbids the government from getting involved in religion. They do NOT want you and me to be able to follow our own beliefs (unless those beliefs are based on their religion).
One wonders just how poor the middle class will have to become before they finally wake up to the reality that their own religious leaders have sold out to the rich. When will they recognize that a strong separation between church and state is the ONLY way to preserve America. When will they get a brain and stop voting the way these demons tell them to vote--and start paying attention to their Constitution and their pocketbooks.
Can you imagine anybody less Christlike that those guys?
