I like David Barry.
Heretics are hated with a vehemence not reserved for infidels because
they had seen the "truth" and rejected it.
Hunting down and burning or stoning is not extremist talk. Here is an
article on Rousas John Rushdoony, who seems to be the founding
philosopher of the reconstructionists.
>>>
"We must use the doctrine of religious liberty ... until we train
up a generation of people who know that there is no religious
neutrality, no neutral law, no neutral education, and no neutral civil
government," explained his son-in-law Gary North. "Then they will get
busy constructing a Bible-based social, political and religious order
which finally denies the religious liberty of the enemies of God."
Rushdoony opposed labor unions, women's equality, and civil rights
laws. He favored racial segregation and slavery, which he felt had
benefited black people because it introduced them to Christianity. He
largely denied the Holocaust. And he made it kosher for Christian
leaders like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell openly to despise
democracy.
"Supernatural Christianity and democracy are inevitably enemies,"
wrote Rushdoony, "Democracy is the great love of the failures and
cowards of life."
In the highly divided world of Christian denominations, Rushdoony
was - in journalist Marghe Covino's exquisite phrase - the most
unlikely "Ayatollah of Holy Rollers." Few members of the Assembly of
God or other evangelical, Pentecostal, or charismatic churches even
know his name, and they are only now becoming comfortable with some of
his ideas.

I don't want Americans to become comfortable with death by stoning for
atheists, adulterers, and homosexuals. .
