Bushco & fundie rhetoric implicitly condones hate

A small fire and anti-gay graffiti were found Saturday at a church [in Middlebrook, Virginia] belonging to the United Church of Christ, a denomination that endorsed same-sex marriage last week.

The exterior of St. John's Reformed United Church of Christ also included a message that United Church of Christ members were sinners.

The fire came a day after two black churches were heavily damaged by seven arson fires in Sparta, Tenn. Authorities said there was no evidence that it was a hate crime, but they were not ruling anything out.

Someone also tried to set fire to a mosque early Saturday in Bloomington, Ind., and the FBI was investigating it as a hate crime.

make no mistake... the atmosphere of fear and hate that is swirling under the surface of american life is oh-so-subtly being encouraged by the public pronouncements of our governmental and religious leaders...
