American Family Wants Its Own Version of Sharia Law

I have said time and time again that marginalizing LGBT Americans and re-criminalizing same sex relationships are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the overall agenda of the Christianists. Not only do they want gays treated as criminal, but they want to ultimately establish their own version of sharia law that would criminalize sex between unmarried individuals - i.e., "fornication" - and adultery. Then there is the "personhood" movement that wants to outlaw all abortion and many forms of contraception. Indeed, if fully implemented, the Christianst plan would be a Christian version of what the Taliban sought to do in Afghanistan. The Christianists are religious fanatics plan and simple and their goal is to make all Americans live under their sick, hate and fear based version of Christianity. Right Wing Watch caught registered hate group American Family Association's Bryan Fischer expounding on this radical agenda. Here are highlights:

On his American Family Association radio program yesterday, Bryan Fischer sought to make the case against Ron Paul on the grounds that Paul "does not have a biblical view of the law and sexuality," meaning that he doesn't believe that things like fornication and adultery must be illegal, like Fischer does:

Whether it is fornication or whether it is adultery, [the Apostle] Paul says there ought to be laws against those behaviors since they are so destructive to human beings. They represent a great danger to human health, adultery destroys families, it chews up children it creates poverty. Adultery does enormous social damage, it does enormous social harm. Sexual immorality, it leads to the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, that makes it a public health issue. It leads to out-of-wedlock pregnancies, out-of-wedlock births, those children have to be born somewhere, you've got costs involved, you have now single moms bringing children into the world with no husband, no father around, that puts a strain on welfare budgets. That means fornication, sexual immorality, is properly a matter of public policy concern. It ought to be against the law.
