Among the states leading in hatred and calling for murder in the name of Christ is the state of Iowa, but throughout the USA there have been numerous evangelicals traveling to Uganda to encourage the enactment of state assassinations of gays and lesbians, while in Nigeria they argue for the killing of adulterers. What is unique is that most of these hate-filed groups are members of a pseudo-Christian group known as The Family.
