1. This is why we should go after hate-mongering churches the same way we do extremist hate groups |

Just because people like Warren don't openly advocate the murder of homosexuals, doesn't make them any better than extremist hate groups that do. By cloaking their homophobia with religion, they make "acceptable" for many Americans to discriminate against gays. If we can use RICO laws to go after hate groups, why not hate-mongering churches?
Don't give me any of this "freedom of religion" stuff either. Freedoms are not absolute. We don't allow people to engage in human sacrifice. We don't allow polygamy. There are other religious practices that we don't allow. Why should we tolerate violence and discrimination?
