You're right Dave - there's plenty of good reasons to slag Green and co. off, their girth and looks don't really have much of a bearing on the matter!

Since those numbers are already available on the web, I won't bother censoring the above comment, but I hope no one bothers to ring Green up - that's his kind of tactic, and we shouldn't stoop so low.

Ugly fat on the outside, not very nice inside either!

I'm so pleased to find so much contempt for Christian Voice and their sickening tactics. This tiny group of bigots and homophobes have experienced a disproportionate level of media coverage recently which will die away in no time. They are such a small, insular group with such extreme ideas that they can only be said to represent themselves. What right minded person, Christian or otherwise, could possibly feel any affinity with such a warped and deluded organisation? We'll gawp in disbelief at these maniacs for a while; but in the end they are nothing more than a sideshow.

Britain is a much more tolerant nation than America, and a much less reactionary one. And whilst the States has always harboured a wide band of Christian extremists, Britain is by comparison a very secular country. I don't think we should be totally complacent about Christian Voice or other groups of their ilk, but at least we have the reassurance of knowing that our press and politicians have uniformly attacked these people and there seems to be no popular attraction to their demented views.

The thing is, they're not naughty children in the playground, so the old 'just ignore them' advice won't work. I reckon bolstering their egos (sin of Pride much?) is an acceptable side-effect if they can be hounded back to their caves, burrows, or whatever it is loony 'Christians' live in.

I'm afraid Matt is right. Christian Voice really are enjoying the publicity. In fact, the more outrage they provoke, the more convinced they become of their own righteousness. As Stephen Green says, "With all the hate mail I'm getting, I'm obviously rattling Satan's cage."

Another worrying result of this business is that however most people seem to see through Christian Voice's tactics, journalists appear to have decided to give them credentials by quoting their views on other subject. I understand that their point of view (because of how extreme it is) make for good copies but this is highly dangerous... See my blog entry on the subject.

Thanks for your coverage on this Jack.

My fear is that Christian Voice are really enjoying all this bad publicity.
