http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/06/09/anti-gay-evangelical-christians-a-growing-political-force-in-brazil/BRASILIA (Reuters) When televangelist Silas Malafaia gathered 40,000 followers outside Brazils Congress this week, it wasnt just to raise their arms to the sky and praise the Lord.
The rally was a show of support for lawmakers who oppose abortion and same-sex marriage and a message to other politicians that they should not ignore Brazils fast-growing evangelical churches if they want to stay in office.
Gay activism is moral garbage, Malafaia roared into the microphone to a cheering crowd on the grassy esplanade of the Brazilian capital. Satan will not destroy our family values.
The rise of evangelical Christians as a conservative political force in Latin Americas largest nation has put the ruling Workers Party on guard and led President Dilma Rousseff who is seeking re-election in 2014 to appoint an evangelical bishop to her cabinet.

Obviously, I don't mean ALL - not Dignity or MCC; just most mainstream Christian denominations.

(19,348 posts)After the Civil War, the south needed to handled the same way the Nazi's were dealt with after the Second World War.
They lost, their leadership should have hanged (every political/military/plantation owner/Southern Bapist(devil) minister).
The cancer of southern culture was never cured and has spread throughout the country. This cancer is now spreading internationally.

I do despise how religion goes after one minority after another, since the beginning of religious times.
