Raging medievalists

What's a "raging medievalist"?

It's a phrase I like to use to describe these tablet-carrying wannabees that live in an age of genetic engineering, skylabs, polio vaccines, nuclear power, and automobiles, yet think society's ills can be cured with medieval religious practices like angry mobs of stone-wielders.

Herb Titus and Gary North fit the billing and you can read about them here:

Stone chuckers


Hate is not justified because it is Christian hate as opposed to Islamic hate. The Christian idol, Jesus, was categorically opposed to harming others and was fanatical enough about it to stop stonings.

Can he possibly be honored by digital-aged barbarians carrying grudges that defile his very legacy?

I'd wager their activity does more to drive people away from Christ's teachings than Boston-area child predators in vestments.
