Treated like a piece of spiritual meat

Fundie N.C. family views a Polish exchange student as vessel for international prosthetizing:

They wanted me to help them set up a Fundamentalist Baptist church in my home country of Poland. It was God's will, they said. They tried to slip the topic casually into conversation, but it really shocked me -- I realized that was the only reason they had welcomed me into their family. They had already started construction work in Krakow -- I was to help them with translations and with spreading their faith via the media.

It was clear to me that there was no way I was going to do that. The family was appalled.

Needless to say, he fled. But this whole sorry story begs the question of how many foreigners come here for an educational and cultural experience and end up in the home of aggressive evangelicals, many of whom are quite scary to the non-initiated, even if they're unfailingly "nice," if once can still be nice while telling you that you're going to hell unless you accept their particular doctrines word for word.

Once, I spent 20 minutes stuck in on a ski resort chairlift with the leader of a travelling evangelical puppet troupe. I let it slip a little too early in the trip that I wasn't one of their kind, and I ended up suffering through what seemed like endless prodding to change my sinful ways. What struck me most about my encounter with the puppeteer and with this poor Polish kid is that in both cases, they didn't really care about the individual. The more extreme members of the evangelical community (none of what I'm saying applies to more mainstream evangelicals, just the aggressive types) will always direct the conversation to your eternal soul. Rarely will they ask you what you want, whether you want to be saved, let alone badgered. You're not a person, you're potential spiritual cannon fodder.

Look at the "Quiverfull" movement, the goal of which is to pump out babies, not to be valued and loved family members, but to be "Arrows for the war" in the race war they're so worried about:

Only a determination among Christian women to take up their submissive, motherly roles with a "military air" and become "maternal missionaries" will lead the Christian army to victory. Thus is Quiverfull part of Mary Pride's whole-cloth solution to women's liberation: embracing an opposing way of life as total and "self-consistent" as feminism, and turning back the tide on a society gone wrong by populating the world with right-thinking Christians.

[...]

Population is a preoccupation for many Quiverfull believers, who trade statistics on the falling white birthrate in European countries like Germany and France. Every ethnic conflict becomes evidence for their worldview: Muslim riots in France, Latino immigration in California, Sharia law in Canada. The motivations aren't always racist, but the subtext of "race suicide" is often there.

I don't pretend to know everything about the extreme evangelical movement in this country, but what I do know scares the heck out of me. How does this worldview, much like the extreme Sharia-imposing Islamist movement, coexist in a pluralistic democracy?
