1. I'm not much into

swinger's clubs or strip clubs, to say the least. But, these Christian zealots don't understand limits. They proclaim their love but they take actions that do real harm to people. Before long they would expand their targeting to include other groups. They really are the American Taliban.

2. Pretty soon, they're gonna start "loving" people to death.

Then we'll see if our government is really serious about combatting terrorism.

3. There is negligible difference among the extreme fundamentalist wings of every religion.

Their basic principles are much more similar to each other than different

[Enthusiast]

4. Yes, just a matter of superficial

dogma.

5. If the cops don't stop these loons, someone is going to get hurt or killed. And it may be the loons

if they go after the wrong person. Keep fucking up people's lives and eventually they'll do it to the wrong person who will snap.

To paraphrase Chris Rock, "I may not approve, but I understand."

9. The group...

probably has at least one cop in their midst. How else are they getting names from license plate numbers?

6. What these people are doing is harassment - not free speech...

If someone calls my job to get me fired for something I do in my private life - they will have a harrasment lawsuit on the their hands... and if my employer fires me for what I legally do on my own time they will be sued too.

7. NOOooooo one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

[pleah]

8. K&R I have been calling the The American Religious Taliban for some time now.

They are part of the reason I am anti religion. To many fucking nuts out there claiming to be xtians.

10. Have they taken the part out about "judge not lest ye be judged"?
