BOB TOPPER – Using language to attack, control, and manipulate others conceals the underlying fear, ignorance, and insecurity of Christian extremists. This tactic serves not only as a mask for their own anxieties, but also as a tool to demean, intimidate, and incite hatred toward those with differing views. . . . Their reliance on language as a weapon derives from a refusal to reconcile faith with actual inquiry and perpetuates discord within American society. . . . No wonder we are so divided.
