@Molon Labe – If that was all the Extremist Christians were doing I would agree that they have much greater threats. Unfortunately, there seems to be no sense of restraint in some of the more radical Christians just like there is no restrain in some of the Radical Jewish and Muslim groups. Bombing Abortion clinics is a good example.
But there is a more insidious danger in the zealots of all faiths. They don’t find it sufficient to establish a relationship with God – They aren’t satisfied until they are forcing you to live their faith as well. How many Blue code laws do we have on the books because Christians were offended by those who would buy Alcohol on Sunday – as if they own the day? How many Anti-Abortion and Anti-Women’s reproductive health laws were forwarded last year across the nation because the Religious Right isn’t satisified with saying Abortion is offensive to them. They want to take it away from everyone.
I would say Religious Extremism overall is a pretty big threat to my liberty and my way of life.
