Selective reading of the Bible is a Religious Right specialty. If you seek prime examples of overt religious persecution, consider the chronic bashing of Mormons by the Southern Baptist press. Witness the chronic defamation of public school teachers. A counterfeit revival approaches and Americans are going to have to choose a side. The Religious Right is shackled to ignorance, disciplined by fear, and sheathed in superstition.
Followers trudge toward control of every facet of American life.
They are gullible and pitiful, swept along by false prophets. They mean this nation real harm. Those familiar with George Orwell's classic novel 1984 will recognize Newspeak as practiced by the Religious Right. They are hard at work in the corridors of secular power while the corporal works of mercy go begging. They seek to be Big Brother, to manipulate and deceive.
