One thing to keep in mind in that some of these conservative 
Christian groups in the U.S. are really political organizations much 
more than they are religious organizations and, as such, seize on to 
anything that might result in publicity for their group.  Some of 
these people don't seem to even try to have much of a religious 
explanation for the nonsense they spout, as their motives are purely 
political.
