I don't know anything about that particular sect of Baptists. I assume he is for real. Scary huh?

I think it's an example of radicalism. When people go radical, they really lose sight of reality. They think they're doing this for their God, but they are actually going against what their religion teaches. They hi-jack the religion and claim it's the true (reformed, pure, orthodox, pick a word) version of the religion and that everyone else is wrong, as if the others have given in to modern times or "liberal" ideals.

There's no talking to them. When someone can pray for another's death, what's there to say?

It is scary. It goes to show that this can happen anywhere in any religion. Thankfully we live in the U.S. where this kind of radicalism isn't likely to amount to much. They won't be taking over the government--I hope!
