To be born with an intellectual impediment is bad enough; to raise a child to proselytise; to appear as if they are insane is disgusting and against every decent parent's desire to give their child the best opportunity in life.
Someone should walk up to this child and tell them that don't have to obey their father's demands to preach; that it is not what decent people do to others.
Indeed. Someone should pray for the kid's salvation as a human being, and make sure to do it publicly, loudly, and persistently.
Seriously though, if we went after the bigots as they do unto us, they'd be condemning us for that as well. They're supposed to be the Christians, yet we're expected to turn the other cheek.
