Extremists like Carolyn Baker are just as intollerant as any KKK member or fascist. It is obvious from reading her articles that she despises Christians. She is so ignorant that it is incredible. Here is what she thinks that Christians think about non-Christians: "They are a force to be conquered, broken, imprisoned or killed." The funny thing is that I think this is a psychological defense mechanism known as "projection" on Baker's part. In another words, she is accusing Christians of wanting to do to her, what she actually wants to do to them. None of the Christians I know want to conquer, imprison, or kill non-believers. It is incredible that Baker would say this. Here is a quote from Baker: "The religious right of twenty-first century America is anti-American, inherently violent, and a cruel, tyrannical, punitive, force of death and destruction. In its mindset, adult human lives do not matter because the human condition itself is inherently evil resulting in eternal and everlasting punishment in hell unless its members are redeemed in a prescribed manner by the fundamentalist God/man/savior, Jesus Christ. Moreover, with an embarrassingly adolescent flamboyance, Dominionists shamelessly rape, pillage, and desecrate the earth because in the first place, their Bible has given them authority over all things human and in the second place, their "imminent" apocalyptic rapture, transporting them from the human "veil of tears" to live happily ever after in heaven, entitles them to do so. Meanwhile, we the unredeemed, the unbelievers, the poor, the feminists, the gay and lesbian, the disabled, the homeless, the mentally ill, the addicted, and those who are conscientiously following divergent spiritual paths of their choice, are suffering in the wake of Christian fundamentalism's devastation of the economy, the earth, and the human race. But this is what we deserve for not becoming born-again devotees of their Jesus. And we deserve even worse-to burn in hell for all of eternity. Hence, we are expendable, inconsequential, and a force to be conquered, broken, imprisoned, or killed." I have no interest in silencing people like Baker. Quite to the contrary, let her speak and let her speak loudly. The more she speaks, the bigger fool of herself she makes. The more she speaks, the more you realize how full of crap she is. But even a hate-filled fool such as Baker will find a few followers out there. |
