Pharyngula: Deranged and destructive:

We had a little drama in St Paul this morning: an anti-choice kook decided that an effective way to silence a family planning clinic was to smash the entrance to Planned Parenthood with his SUV.

Several employees were in the building at the time, said Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Kathi Di Nicola. She said the SUV hit the front door of the clinic two or three times, damaging the clinic's front door and surrounding stonework.

When Di Nicola arrived at the clinic, she said the man had gotten out of the SUV and was pacing around it, holding a crucifix and chanting. "He was agitated and he was saying, 'shut down this Auschwitz,' " she said.

Violent, unthinking, incoherent, and flaunting his piety. Typical.

In contrast, the staff at the clinic responded calmly and with discipline.

and some people wonder why, in spite of unchanging beliefs, I won't call myself a Christian anymore...

The big anti-abortion march was this morning... I decided it was a very good reason *not* to try to go through Union Station (and Chinatown, as the big rally beforehand was there) about the same time the march would be happening... or just over.

And just because some Christians are also psychopathic idiots...

I, too, have battled that label. I have decided to declare myself as something different than those "Christian" hate-cult followers, I call myself "True Christian" or better still, "Christian of the New Testament, not name-calling, hate-mongering, unrepentantly self-righteous Jesus-ignoring Christian."

How hard it is to understand "Love your neighbor" doesn't mean "Kill them?"
