I hope this post will not be out of line for the forum. I was listening to fresh air on NPR today and Jane Mayer was interviewed about a man named Bryan Fischer and his rants on homosexuality and other political stuff. He is part of the American Family Association. Now, when it comes to NPR and religious issues I tend to draw a fine line between what is truth and what may be skewed. That which I find hard to believe I will eventually search it out to see if it is correct or not. Sometimes the truth is presented but the program wants to label it negatively.
So, having presented that I have to wonder about this guy vs. the woman who is interviewed.
The first link is something written by Jane on this guy while the second link is the actual Fresh air article and interview.
What are your thoughts on him and how much of a threat is he to America or a Voice for the face of Christianity?

I have to say that anytime a group or a person gets involved in politics they really open themselves up to credibility issues and can only become a talking head without substance. Personally, I take all talking heads on politics with a grain of salt but I don't hear too much who give a balanced perspective on issue. I listen to some NPR just for a balance on what I have been used to hearing.
