Mix fundy religion with sheer insanity and you get rants like this idiot.



People who write for blogs or comment on them may be familiar with
something called "Godwin's Law." It holds that if an online
discussion/debate goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will invoke
a comparison to Hitler and the Nazis.

Some activists on the Religious Right don't waste any time dragging the
Nazis into the picture. Consider Brannon Howse. Howse runs Worldview
Weekend, an organization that sponsors seminars to help Christians adopt
the proper "biblical worldview." (I attended one back in 2002. It was
enlightening, to say the least. See more here.)

Howse recently sent out an e-mail promoting an article he wrote listing 25
reasons why America is like Nazi Germany. He gives only seven reasons in
the e-mail. You have to order a magazine and give him your mailing address
to get the whole thing.

Based on the seven reasons I've read, I'd say Howse needs, as my mother
used to say, "to have his head examined." His article is shrill and
hysterical - and much of it isn't even true.

Howse asserts that Adolf Hitler removed religious holidays and prayer from
public schools - just like our Supreme Court did in 1962.
