Be afraid...

Microsoft is in trouble again. Not for making the crappiest but best selling products but for dropping support of a gay rights bill. Here's the story:

Seems some Christian right folks got to him. One of them is quoted as saying:

Dr. Hutcherson, pastor of the Antioch Bible Church, who has organized several rallies opposing same-sex marriage here and in Washington, D.C., said he threatened in those meetings to organize a national boycott of Microsoft products.
After that, "they backed off," the pastor said Thursday in a telephone interview. "I told them I was going to give them something to be afraid of Christians about," he said

Is it just me or does being "afraid of Christians" kind of go against the whole love and brotherhood thing. Granted, I'm no bible scholar but I was raised in the Baptist church and I just don't remember too awful many instances of Jesus kicking someone's ass. It seems to me like there are way too many people running around calling themselves Christian who would probably really like to go back to stoning people in the village square.
