You sound just like them
Look, I already said I got a little carried away. Equating my words with the hate-filled actions, utter contempt for basic decency, and total lack of respect other people's condition (this is the definition of sociopathic, by the way - not a few angry words) that this "church" demonstrates is quite the stretch. Whatever.
I'm just saying that people will do whatever, to whomever they please, regardless of whether or not what they actually do fits with the philosophy, or scripture they claim to follow. This guy and his family are a perfect example of that.

I don't understand what you mean by fanatics. Where I live these are just down to Earth Christians.

This is just plain old middle class America. The subjects of Jesus and ethnic cleansing are often spoken of in the same breath back in my neck of the woods.

Some people or all people? Black and white statements are rarely accurate. I do agree that many people if not most lack the ability practice what they preach. But we all do it to some degree.
