As to your footnote - possibly for the same reason as I called a bunch of High Anglicans heretics when I was about five; because they seem to 'worship' saints, which is tantamount to worshipping idols at a glance (especially when they make pictures and statues of the saints then pray to them).
The 'Are you good enough to go to Heaven?' article was actually not as bad as its name suggested; it did actually answer the question correctly (you're not, neither are we, just as well God worked that one out and did something about it then...). Unfortunately then the site went and linked to a page about Bush's Homosexual Agenda and how he apparently isn't really anti-abortion *enough*.
The tale of the baseball-bat abortion (some girl in Macomb County wanted an abortion but didn't want to tell her parents, so she got her boyfriend to hit her with a baseball bat until she miscarried, now he's on trial) makes me think despairingly of To Kill A Mockingbird, too; let's hope it has a happier ending.
