The FRC wants to scare its constituency into unquestioning support of its political agenda. If you think they are “informing” people or sharing “research,” you must have been recently abducted by a UFO. The nightmare scenario described in FRC’s recent letter rivals anything that you’ll find in the museum of propaganda, and it reveals something that a lot of us are feeling, but have been reluctant to admit.

I’m tired of being manipulated by these bottom feeders. I’m tired of my values and loyalties as a Christian being used against me by arm-twisting political goon squads like the FRC. I’m tired of my opposition to abortion and gay marriage being used as a way to sign me up for something that’s a universe away from what I believe the Bible calls Christians to be or to do. I’m tired of organizations like FRC treating the church as a cow to be milked, then put out to pasture.

FRC’s scary scenario is meant to move an already uncertain constituency of politically conservative evangelicals into full “persecution” mode, with the eager expectation that everyone who isn’t in the bunker with us is our sworn enemy, out to destroy our families and freedoms. It’s “imagine how bad it could be if you don’t support us.” If this isn’t the last refuge of a scoundrel, I don’t know what is.

Thank you Michael.
