He is a "Bible-believin’" Christian; and even though he has never read the "Good Book," he believes that every word is the "gospel truth." He goes to the Westboro Baptist Church where he attends service every Sunday. He listens raptly to Fred Phelps preach the gospel, and sings from the hymnal loudly. He professes his faith and rededicates his life to Christ, who he accepts as his personal savior. He is born again.

But while he is full of the "sweet by-and-by", he is curiously preoccupied with worldly matters. He comes knocking at your door, and asks you, quite unabashedly, whether you would sign a petition barring homosexuals from teaching in public schools, and a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. You say no, politely; but he will not take "no" for an answer. He offers to sell you tickets to a church-sponsored dinner where the featured speaker is David Duke.

"He’s a good Christian," he says, "just the sort we need nowadays."
