Abstract/ Summary

What a paradox! After likening fundamental preachers to such things as "two-bit Latin American dictators," "Theological perverts," religious witch hunters who merchandise the Gospel for profit and preach an "upside-down gospel" of fear and hatred and finally suggesting that we missed our true calling since we should be planting corn instead of preaching Christ, the Rev. Walter Thompson goes on to say that what we all need is more love and less of a spirit of judgement.
