Is the Christian Right going to become Militant? [View All]

[ck4829]

All signs point to a very frightening Yes

According to Genocide Watch, there are 8 stages of Genocide.
http://www.genocidewatch.org/8stages.htm

1. Classification
2. Symbolization
3. Dehumanization
4. Organization
5. Polarization
6. Preparation
7. Extermination
8. Denial

We are somewhere between 4 and 5.

Classification - The Christian Right now identifies itself

Symbolization - In this case, this just is a continuation of stage 1

Dehumanization - The Christian Right dehumanizes it's enemies. "Spiritually blind Jews, Godless Atheists, Terrorist Muslims, Evil GLBT people, etc." While at the same time, the Christian Right is 'superhumanizing' itself, for example it is calling itself the Morally superior crowd

Organization - The Christian Right has created wave after wave of Activists, such as Same-Gender marriage, voting for Bush, going after the ACLU, etc.

Polarization - Not quite there yet, but Extremists such as Jerry Falwell are already forming groups such as the Revived Moral Majority. We can also look for an increase in propaganda, hate speech, and bigoted laws.

I do not mean this as an insult to average and peaceful Christians. I just want to make sure everybody knows before something terrible may happen.
