Oh my gosh........me too. That is why I laugh at all the "real (talk radio) conservatives" who equate being a Democrat with killing babies, having gay sex and hating God. My dad was a WWII Marine vet, Southern Baptist Deacon and lifelong Democrat and they didn't build them any finer than him.
Yep. However many churches are running left wingers off with their preaching politics from the pulpit. LIberals are equated with satan in many sermons.
That is just all so wrong in a supposed Christain? church.[/QUOTE
Which churches? The only churches I've seen preaching politics are like Rev Wright's. Not sure I'd call that rightwing. In any case, this isn't about politics.
It's about ethics. Mine happen to be religious, but I'm not shoving them down anyone's throat, and I have stated several times one's ethics do not have to be based on a religion to participate.
We CAN do this without it turning into a right vs left thing.
Gunny, right winger evangelicalism has become a major factor in the Republican Party since Jerry Falwell, the Moral Majority, etc., since 1980. Social values conservatives are a dominant portion of the GOP, and most of that conservatism is grounded in right wing churches.
Having said that, I suggest we continue along with your prescription "this isn't about politics".
