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.
