The American Prayer Hour: Countering the 'Far Loony Religious Right'
http://www.bradblog.com/?p=7674

uest blogged by Frank Schaeffer

'...It is dominion we are after. Not just influence. It is dominion we are after. Not just equal time. It is dominion we are after. World conquest. That's what Christ has commissioned us to accomplish. We must win the world with the power of the Gospel.'

Nothing illustrates the danger we face from our own Taliban better than the way American "Christians" are now tangled up with the homophobic --- now potentially gay murdering --- Ugandan Christian/political leadership.

The Ugandan Parliament is considering a bill that would impose the death penalty on gays. One American must be cheering from the grave. Here’s what the late R.J. Rushdoony, Reconstructionist theologian and founder of the modern movement of that name, wrote in a letter to gay rights activist Mel White: “God in His law requires the death penalty for homosexuals.”

5. Thank you for posting this
Ever since I read Frank Schaeffer's Crazy for God I have appreciated his take on the Religious Right. And I am reading Sharlett's The Family right now and find it frightening. Why do we even need a National Prayer Breakfast anyway?

6. You Can't Counter the "Far Loony Religious Right" With Religion.
There is no organized religion that is not "loony".
