What is frightening--is that we have come along way in science, technology and rational thinking since then. We understand the world better. Organized religion is being questioned and people are breaking away from the confines of religious doctrines and churches because people are questioning and thinking. We are evolving.
However, these people have stayed in the same place. They're emotional infants. Human beings are evolving forward. Science and facts are all around us now. Except for these people. They're lunatics, in my opinion and very dangerous.
They're delusional if they truly believe that they can infiltrate the government, or anything else with their dated opinions and ridiculous superstitions. Every poll and trend that I've seen in the past decade indicates that the world is moving quickly away from organized religion. These people need a reality check.
Fine for them to have their beliefs. Go at it. But please--realize that your brand of extremism is a dying breed that the overwhelming majority does not share.
