Envious of The Taliban
I was talking to a fundamentalist Christian friend yesterday and I asked him if he thought gay marriage should be illegal. He informed me that homosexuality was a sin and that he has no objections to making “wallowing in sin” illegal. So I asked him if all sin should be illegal and he said, yes.
While my friend is certainly not he typical fundamentalist, I do think many if not most fundamentalist/born again/evangelical/etc. Christians would agree with my friend on this one. In fact, while my friend is actually more indifferent to law, I would say most fundamentalists aren’t.
Fundamentalist and family values groups are actively working to change our laws so that they match with Biblical laws. These people are envious of the Taliban and of many of the Islamic nations which have been able to enact laws to fit with their interpretation of their holy book. If they can make all forms of “sin” illegal, they will.
