“Because Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, I will speak out for him,” said the Rev. Jerry Fike of Mount Olivet Brethren Church, who gave the prayer at Samantha’s graduation. “The Bible encourages that.” Mr. Fike continued: “Ultimately, he is the one I have to please. If doing that places me at odds with the law of the land, I still have to follow him.”
And some people claim that fundamentalists aren't a threat to the security of our nation...

Has anyone here read Under The Banner Of Heaven? It's a very good read about Mormon fundamentalism, and for part of the book focuses on the story of the Lafferty brothers, who killed a 2-month old baby and her mother because 'God told them to'. Their justification? Almost exactly the words Rev. Fike used.
