“If Indiana caves and guts its religious freedom law — as Gov. Mike Pence has already promised — it will prove an equal triumph for those who are so enraged at Christian teaching that they are willing to persecute Christians,” Zmirak writes. “Should we engage in large-scale, non-violent civil disobedience, as black Americans once did in the face of Jim Crow laws? We have the numbers to bring this country to a sudden screeching halt, if we can stand up to the media’s blows and spitting.”

Sample the hate that has been spewed at the state of Indiana in the past week, and faithful Christians in recent years, by gay activists and their allies. We are “bigots,” “Neanderthals” and “haters,” whose views must be ritually rejected by anyone hoping to keep a job in today’s America — even in a Catholic high school. Where will this end? Is there a logical stopping point for this aggression, where Christians are left in peace?

History teaches that mass vilification rarely stops short of spilling blood. The French Jacobins who spent the 1780s slandering the clergy in pornographic pamphlets went on in the 1790s to slaughter Christians by the hundreds of thousands. The Turks paved the way for killing a million Armenian Christians with a wave of propaganda. The Bolsheviks followed their “anti-God” crusade of the 1920s with starvation camps and firing squads. The Communist governments of Eastern Europe obeyed the same script, as scholar Anne Applebaum documents in her sobering study The Iron Curtain. The Hutu government of Rwanda prepared for its assault on the once-powerful Tutsis by incessantly describing them as “cockroaches” on radio broadcasts, which triggered a genocide.

If the media, the law and our elite institutions succeed in lumping Christian sexual morals in with white racism, how long will it be before believing Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox (and many religious minorities) find themselves labelled as members of “extremist sects,” no more to be trusted with the care of their own children than the Branch Davidians were?

The Branch Davidians? He said it, not me.

2. Straight from Goebells Handbook of Propaganda, Teabagger Version. It is intellectualized hate speech.

Fortunately all the Teabagger audience for this stuff has no idea what the guy is talking about when he refers to 18th century Mesopotamia, etc., so it falls on deafened ears mostly.

3. Fear 'n' Smear.

Same old shit. Piled higher and deeper.

Sorry pal, YOUR religion does not trump MY rights. Nor anybody else's rights. Nobody's trying to take your churches away - OR your tax-exempt status.

Actually, that's a shame. We SHOULD be taking the tax-exempt status away from "churches" like this one that do little else but politicking, trying to dictate their narrow, mean-spirited, exclusionary, and deeply-prejudicial brand of morality, and meddling in public affairs and governance. Or at least we should be revisiting it.

7. "Is there a logical stopping point for this aggression, where Christians are left in peace?"

Yes actually. Stop passing shitty laws allowing people to discriminate in the name of religion and Christians will be left in peace.

15. The anti gay religion industry runs on the mass villification of LGBT people, that is their stock in

trade, rhetorical theme and fundraising ace in the hole. They've done it for years and years and years. What a full tilt hypocrite this guy is, just as dishonest as the day is long.

16. "violence and contempt that was poured out on the pro-life Operation Rescue in the 1980s and ’90s."

You are right, that was terrible when pro-life Doctor George Tiller was killed by pro-choice activists.....Oh wait! Never mind.
