1. I've actually emailed it to a few left leaning friends/coworkers.
Great points and insight into the fundamentalist x-tian movement. I hope Plaidder's is on hiatus because she's writing a book. I'd buy several copies! :)

I'm also passing it on to people... scary, scary stuff, but right on the money.

3. She nailed it right here...
Well, see, we're really only dealing here with a specific kind of Christian, and this specific kind of Christian takes a very different view of who Jesus was and what he was put on earth for. This specific kind of Christian is also convinced that any attempt to encourage tolerance of - or even to represent - homosexuality is simply a veiled attempt to recruit. Why? Because all of us tend to assume that everyone else, under the skin, is really just like us. Therefore, people who themselves are aggressive, tireless, fanatically driven recruiters - as many evangelical Christians are - assume that everyone else is recruiting too.
