John, I used to live in a town who's greatest claim to fame was it's local TV evangelist. Millions DO believe it. They also believed aids was God's judgement on gays. Yes it's sickening, but these are NOT just fringe beliefs. All the hate mongers mentioned in this thread, even the more subtle ones, have had tacit approval from Government. Not ONE of them lent their considerable influence to the fight for integration in the sixties, and most preached openly against it. Surely that should have been a righteous cause for ANY Christian. Finding old Billy Graham speeches on the net can be chilling.
