10 Things You Might Not Know About the American Family Association | Resources | Human Rights Campaign

Just how off the rails is Bryan Fischer? HRC provides a summary here. More detail is provided at the attached posting.

Take a look,,,

1. AFA’s Bryan Fischer blames the Holocaust on LGBT people, stating, “Homosexuality gave us Adolph Hitler, and homosexuals in the military gave us the Brown Shirts, the Nazi war machine and six million dead Jews.”

2. AFA's Fischer has called for an “Underground Railroad” to take children from gay and lesbian parents.

3. Fischer has compared making criminalizing LGBT people with bans on murder, stealing, child molestation, delicious trans fats and prostitution.

4. AFA says God is going to use ISIS to punish America for being tolerant of LGBT people.

5. AFA supported the passage of Uganda’s deplorable anti-gay law, which calls for LGBT Ugandans or anyone “promoting” homosexuality to be jailed – potentially for life.

6. AFA thinks the Boy Scouts of America would be better off drowning in the sea than allowing LGBT Scouts.

7. AFA compares LGBT people to pedophiles and people who have sex with animals: "We should discriminate against unnatural and aberrant sexual behavior, whether pedophilia, bestiality, or homosexuality."

8. AFA thinks fewer students will commit suicide if adults tell young people it is wrong to be LGBT and help them to “choose” to be straight – a practice that has been condemned by every major medical and mental health organization in the country.

9. AFA thinks the NFL celebrating Michael Sam coming out as gay is the same as the NFL celebrating “a brain concussion.”

10. AFA supports criminalizing LGBT people and, when talking about punishment, asks, "Do you put them to death, do you lock 'em up...what do you do?

Fischer: It Is Now A Crime To Be A Christian In America | Right Wing Watch

So is it safe to assume that Mr. Fischer is not a Christian then?

"It is now a criminal offense. it is now a punishable offense, you can be fined for being a Christian in the United States of America. For living, behaving as a Christian, it has now become a crime in the United States of America":

Once again the master of misinformation is at it again. Demonic forces?? Witchcraft?? From my feeble understanding, it appears as if Fischer is blending fantasy with uhm,,,fantasy. Or more like the medieval understanding of the craft with, hell I'm not even sure,,,a perverted sense of satanism? It's as if the satanic panic of the late 70s early 80s is returning under a different guise.

If my understanding is correct, modern day "witches" (those of the Gardnerian and Alexandrian traditions at least) do not have an equivalent concept to the Christian Devil. Individuals are believed to be responsible for their actions, with no external force truly capable of violating their free will. So how does Fischer's statement make any sense??

So to my witchy friends out there, can you shed any light on what this man may be thinking?? And are there any decent resources one could refer to as this is becoming more and more an issue out of the Reich Wing, especially those that rely on Larson and his merry band of teen exorcists. With the many different traditions (?) within the craft I'm afraid of being to general or inaccurately portraying what the craft is/isn't.
