SPL | Holy War ("second civil war" for control of the U.S. government)

The religious crusade against gays has been building for 30 years. Now the movement is reaching truly biblical proportions

For right-wing evangelical ministries like Coral Ridge, which brings in more than $35 million annually, the stakes were never higher. Since the late 1970s, attacks on gay people and their "agenda" had helped to fuel, and pay for, the fundamentalist right's unprecedented rise to political power.

Many of its leaders have engaged in the crudest type of name-calling, describing homosexuals as "perverts" with "filthy habits" who seek to snatch the children of straight parents and "convert" them to gay sex. They have continually bandied about disparaging "facts" about gays that are simply untrue — assertions that are remarkably reminiscent of the way white intellectuals and scientists once wrote about the "bestial" black man.

But never has the anti-gay movement had the momentum it has now, and never has it been so close to achieving its larger, ultimate goal. That goal is winning, in the words of Focus on the Family founder James Dobson, a "second civil war" for control of the U.S. government.

This is only the beginning if they are not blocked. Once they take out homosexuals then it will be women, non-Christians, people of color. Eventually it will be anyone who isn't the 'right' kind of Christian. They want a country like the Islamic fundamentalists have in Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia, but instead of being stoned to death in the name of Allah people will be stoned to death in the name of Jesus. We need to work with existing groups like SPL unless we want that to happen.
