What a paradox! After likening fundamental preachers to such things as "two-bit Latin American dictators," "Theological perverts," religious witch hunters who merchandise the Gospel for profit and preach an "upside-down gospel" of fear and hatred and finally suggesting that we missed our true calling since we should be planting corn instead of preaching Christ, the Rev. Walter Thompson goes on to say that what we all need is more love and less of a spirit of judgement.

They also compete with each other for the market that exists for such an upside-down gospel. Could it be the media and the message are tailored to the tastes of the consumer?
