Wilco48, those harmless buffons can and have done much damage.

They are politicians, judges, D.A.s, and sherrifs throughout the south. They create laws and enforce laws that have the effect of keeping non-white citizens under "control." They enforce out-moded "sodomy" laws. During custody fights, they take away the children of mothers who just happen to be either practicing neo-Paganism, or just have a couple books in their home on the subject. They get abortion clinics closed for trumped up reasons. They control school-boards and therefore control the content of school libraries and what is taught in the classes. They prosecute prostitutes and drug-users while ignoring the johns and the major drug-dealers.

There is more - those are off the top of my head and are pulled from events that occured over the last decade or so in the Orlando, FL area. And all have been committed by conservative Christians, most of the time, Baptists.
