If you’re an evangelical Christian, a Jew, a Catholic or any kind of believer – you have an implacable enemy – one who hates you and wants to destroy you. When I say hate, I’m not talking about pique, annoyance or a vague aversion. I mean hate the way Nazis hated Jews, the way white supremacists hate blacks, the way the Hutus hated the Tutsis.

Brooklyn responded quickly. Christoph Kimmich, the president, sent letters to the newspapers...

This nutty professor has called religious believers "moral retards" and compared religion to oppressive regimes.  "Christians claim that theirs is faith based on love, but they'll just as soon kill you," Shortell wrote in an online journal that is linked to his Web site.
