Yeah, that's pretty idiotic. What distuinguishes this from requiring all Jews to wear patches? That's institutionalizing bigotry and prejudice.
On the other hand, read the comments on the Huffington Post regarding any religious topic (given that many members there are non-religious). Heck, look especially at those dealing with Mormonism, such as Mitt Romney's political campaign, Proposition 8 and the subsequent vandalism of Mormon property, the burning of the Provo Tabernacle last year, etc. In fact, after hearing about the Tabernacle burning (not the big one that most people know), I immediately went to HP.com and found some of the most bigoted and hateful comments regarding that tragedy. Looking at it now, many of the worst comments were removed (and it is no small number) by the rare moderation that takes place at "Fountains of Tolerance and Togetherness." Still, if you are interested, look it up and you'll find there remain quite a few rude and unnecessary statements. I guarantee you, Puffington Host and its many parasites have a greater influence than this preacher, and they advocate some of the worst bigotry I've ever read, doing it quite openly. This would be another opportunity for me to toot my horn on my little "Guide" thread.
