The first was with Orac's featuring of a video put out by the God Hates Fags folks. The narrator talks about how God is going to deal with America the way he dealt with Sodom and Gomorrah. Watch till the end for an utterly disgusting smirk. At least there I could dismiss them as fringe.
Second, I was browsing through old issues of Free Inquiry looking for articles by Robert M. Price and found a review of the Left Behind novels whose title says it all: "Turner Diaries Lite." The Turner Diaries, for those who don't know, is a piece of racist propaganda that inspired Tim McVeigh. As the author explains
The Left Behind series and The Turner Diaries each present a nightmarish, through-the-looking-glass world. Each work's hero is an insurgent against an insidious, uncanny conspiracy of world domination originating in Israel. Each is an evangelist, always on the lookout for qualified recruits. The parallelism of GC and the System, Judah-ites and the Organization, the Trib Force and the Order is clear enough… Rayford Steele's sights are set on a believers-only utopia, Earl Turner's on a gentiles-only utopia.The Left Behind novels are not fringe.

When Christianity started, the Jews hated the Christians and especially the Gentile Christians. They thought they were vile, disgusting low-life, and they killed more than a few of them and would have liked to kill all of them. Too bad they didn't succeed.
That's the equivalent statement to what some of these so-called Christians are making. I have no problem correcting a vulgar, stupid, hateful Christian right to their face, in their Churches, and in their Bible studies.
Jesus had the guts to stand up and publicly denounce them, right in their Synagogues. Now I think it should be done right in Christian Churches, but with a getaway car! (I'm not willing to die to save so-called Christians that act like that. I don't think Jesus is either!)
The only thing close to Sodom in this world is the prison system in this country where you're likely to be raped and sodomized when you enter. They estimate that this happens to 30% every year. Where are all those concerned Christians when it comes to that? They don't give a damn about that because those prisoners are subhuman and "they deserve what they get." Well, that's just part of why Jesus is going to say to them, "Go to hell. I never knew you." There's judgment coming, alright, and it's on the hateful, idiotic, canon fodder Christians in this country who don't give a damn about anyone else, but just enjoy being "right." They're the ones that turn Churches into little coffee clatches where they can feel superior.
I'm sure there are Christians upset by this right now but, hey, I'm just judging them by the same judgment they lay on others. Oh, and they're not like that ... well, tough, they judge whole damned groups, too.
