Reply #23: When driving through right wing Oklahoma all I could get on the radio were religious fanatics... [View All]

Every radio channel I switched to had religious fanatics spreading fear, hatred and lies. I heard a story about a guy who slept with a woman and when he woke up she was gone but the message "You now have AIDS" was written in lipstick on the mirror. It's a common scare tactic used by fundamentalist religious nuts but the story isn't even true. But right wing Christians rarely let truth get in the way of their evil agendas. Urban Legends has debunked the above story, but religious fanatics keep repeating it. (http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/crime/a/world_of_aids.htm)

Another story from Oklahoma radio was about a Muslim who finally converted to Christianity. It was probably fake too.

I feel sorry for people who live in Oklahoma and are exposed to the constant fear, hatred, lies and intolerance from right wing Christians. And you can be sure that if given the chance religious fanatics would turn our country into a theocracy and impose all of their religious intolerance on everyone. People would have to adhere to their religious laws, like stoning women who are on their periods, condemning people for eating shellfish, and all the other insane crap in the Bible. I bet if the US became a theocracy the religious laws would be even harsher and more inhuman than the laws in Muslim controlled countries.

I believe one of the biggest threats to our country is religious extremism from right wing Christians.
