I think some of the fundy cartoons, posters etc are truly awful, but then to me saying that being gay is an abomination is awful.
Have you seen the Ugandan (or possibly Nigerian) ant-gay clip, talking about not swimming with gay people because of 'anal leakage'?
No but I doubt it would surprise me. Don't misunderstand, just because I think half those posters are parodies it doesn't mean that I think what fundy believers often say and do is any more acceptable - it isn't. I'd even go one further, get a group of people, get them to agree with each other about the nature of a group they dislike, add time, more agreement, some bonding and voilà - the group will go beyond discussion of acts and replace it with the core nature of the other group, they will justify what 'should' be done with them and invariably begin to describe them in sub human, fantastical terms (monster, devil, evil etc). It scares the crap out of me, it creates a steady flow of atrocity across the globe, reinforces prejudice and justifies death on a grand scale.
"Whatever it is, it spits and it goes 'WAAARGHHHHHHHH' - that's probably enough to suggest you shouldn't argue with it." Mousy.
