There's a "pastor" on a news-station right now by the name of Kevin Swanson who's talking about how the Bible decrees that gays should be put to death. The news-station is practically crying atheist stuff at the top of their lungs.
This has to do with the radical anti-gay laws being passed in Uganda, apparently under the advice of American missionaries who "couldn't get people to listen here."
If the Bible and Christianity is misinterpreted so badly by the people this society is calling "pastor," I can see how everyone else is so clueless as to what the Bible actually says.

@Amethyst_Dragon If you were a table polisher, I wouldn't call you an extremist for smashing your hand through the table with your cleaning utensils, I'd call you a very bad table polisher.
Going to someone's door and dropping off a pamphlet isn't a bad thing, just kind of annoying. It's the Liam Neeson way, if you ever saw Non-Stop.
Telling people they'll go to hell is different, and you shouldn't drag Christians down along with them just because everyone else is doing it.
Up until recently, most things we've considered moral could be found in the Bible. Now we want to reform the way we accept homosexuality, abortion, and whatever.
Homosexuality is just a bit different, since I believe a good Christian shouldn't get worked up over it, they just shouldn't get too involved. It's just any other sin, and I believe we're forgiven for it.
What I'm trying to say is that America was founded with God in mind, and it shows a lot in our laws, so I don't see why matters of abortion are especially different. Hmm...

@Emanatronic What she is saying is that there are still bad eggs in the system. People find it irritating to have others come to their door and try to pressure you into a religion. Telling someone 'They are going to hell' is almost the same level of insult as 'Go kill yourself' which is just downright hurtful and is not at all what Christianity stands for. These bad eggs can make Christianity as a whole look bad, and the outlook changes the more often it happens.
On the opposite side of the same coin, if a Nazi does a selfless act for humanity, it doesn't exactly justify anything since they are affiliated with a certain faction.
A bad person in a good place makes a bigger difference than you think. And the louder they shout, the more people can hear. Who chooses to tune in defines the community.

@ÜberKiller That was exactly what I meant, thank you.
@Emanatronic Also as far as abortion it actually used to be illegal but it happened anyway and people suffered because it wasn't safely done much of the time. Making it illegal really isn't going to actually get rid of it, sometimes that actually makes the problem worse instead of better.
