You're wrong, Lance. It is the attitude you express here which has promoted bigotry and a false stereotype in our culture so that anyone who wields the sword of God in society is viewed as being a hatemonger and a legalist who has evil motives for what they do. Jesus Christ himself would not have gotten a fair review from you.
