It's a shame that so many of these types of people are so vocally aggressive by nature and feel the need to stand up on their soapboxes so often.
They're not wanting to live in a united peaceful society... they're wanting to live in a 2000 year old totalitarian society where they get to be the boss.
We should maybe ask ourselves what drives a person to need to feel that way....parenting 101 must be fun to have so much money you just get to play with other peoples lives

I think Pastor Swanson counts as one of the "anti-freedom people" Brian, not to put too fine an edge on it.
I don't blame freedom of speech or religion. In fact, I believe that our Constitution and the freedoms enshrined in it is one of the factors that is going to save this country IF we are to be saved. I do think Swanson is a nut, but being a nut is not against the law.
My problem is that he has a national stage, to the extent that three Presidential candidates saw fit to validate him with their presence.
We can no longer dismiss these ideas merely "fringe."
WE don't fight against these ideas by trying to silence them or deny people the right to say such silly garbage.

I would argue that, this IS mainstream Christianity. Especially when you consider how many "Christians" would actually vote for Cruz, Jindal and Huckabee who are in lock step with this man and share his views.
There, in my opinion, are two types of main stream Christians...those who don't share this view and have a more inclusive loving view of God and those like this. I would further postulate that it's closer to a 50/50 split.
If you would cast your vote for Cruz, Jindal or Huckabee, you are indeed an extremist.

And please, before you claim that this is merely one individual's opinion as part of some insignificant "fringe" event, keep in mind that only a few hours before three Candidates for President of the United States shared the same stage with this same man and were "interviewed" by him.

He forgot to say that people that work on the Sabbath and Adulterers should be executed, too. [/sarcasm]
Isn't it strange that the people that claim to be the patriots in this country, always misunderstand the last 6 words of the Pledge of Allegiance.

How about Farakhan calling on people to kill whitey? That's a larger population than the LGBTs.
Quick newsflash
THE WORLD IS FULL OF CRAZIES! FROM ALL SIDES.
