Well, I personally feel Rick Warren may be the most dangerous. He seems like a younger, more popular version of the late Jerry Falwell: “Just because I like pizza it doesn’t mean I should marry it. Biologically, I am predisposed to enjoy the immaculate melding of mozzarella cheese, red sauce and thick crust baked to tasty perfection. But that doesn’t mean I should enter into a lifelong commitment with Sicilian or plain, nor bed it down, nor bring children into the world and have them have to explain to their classmates why their mom’s crust is not a crisp as it once was. Does any child deserve to have their friends tossing Monday 2 for 1 coupons in his face? Not in my world they don’t. Yet, to say that I am against pizza-eaters or gays is absurd. Our Saddleback Church offer more weight-watchers meetings to overeaters than any other evangelical megachurch on the west coast.” Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, and this guy's books were best sellers AND he was chosen by Obama to do that stupid inaugural invocation. I have to second the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Did he seriously just compare homosexuality to wanting to "bed" pizza? WTF?

I suppose it has. That was a comment made back in Dec. of '08.

On the pizza thing: What...the fuck...?
On the poll: I don't even know who most of these people ARE.

I think they're ALL destructive forces. No one of them is any worse than the next, though I think Phelps is probably the biggest douchebag of the lot.

I voted "other" because I'd have to go with TBN founder Paul Croutch. That fuckwad has brainwashed millions of people into sending him and his cronies their lives savings. He must be stopped.

Phelps is too much of a fucking idiot for other fundamentalists to take seriously, and even they recognize that he hurts their cause. I don't think Monson has been around long enough to make that big an impact, and even then, he only really affects the LDS church. Other fundamentalists don't take Mormonism seriously. I don't know why, but I just don't see Rick Warren being able to do much damage. Ham and Coulter are good at lowering the the collective IQ of the conservative xtian community, so they'd be up there, but they don't have the theological credentials to do as much damage as Dobson and Robertson. So, from the list, Dobson and Robertson would be my top two choices, and I think Robertson might take the lead. But none of them are worse than Paul Croutch, Benny Hinn, Rod Parsely, and all those other TBN fucks.

Never heard of him. Is he anything like Peter Popoff with his prayer cloths? LOL, no, but that would just add to the hilarity. He's basically the progenitor of the doctrines "send me all your money and god will give you perfect health and make you rich." He once remarked that god should give him a "holy ghost machine gun" to mow down everyone who disagrees with him. Edit: His last name is Crouch. I've been spelling it wrong.

I think Phelps is doing a bang up job publicising what other fundies believe. It's the sneaky bastards that you watch out for. And this is why I think Phelps isn't as dangerous as he is so shithouse rat crazy that even fundies are going, "Man, that guy's nuts!" It's the robertsons and hams and yes, limbaugh (even if it is merely pandering it is still putting it forth) too are influencing more people because those folks don't see the danger. Kind of like how people don't die as often from packs of wild dogs or 100,000 volt electric fences as often as they slowly die from radiation or cancer. Phelps is such an obvious danger as to scare most folks away... like a polar bear with chainsaw arms and rabies. Most of the others are more like brain tumours.

I went with Dobson for the sole reason that just about every young (or not so young) Christian couple has one of his child rearing books.
