You're no Christian. Real Christians aren't about hate and intolerance, they're about forgiveness and love and peacemaking.
The problem with today's religious right is they've turned into a bunch of evil, scheming, greedy liars and hypocrites. And their leaders are very corrupt. Pat Robertson with his conflict diamonds. Bill Bennett with his gambling habit. Jimmy Swaggart with his prostitute habit. Oral Roberts the ripoff meister. Ralph Reed the phony Enron employee. etc.
Real churches are much more progressive, selfless, charitable, non-partisan and tolerant. But unfortunately, the far rightwing religious types have GOP political power and run their religion like a lobbyist office. And they have a president (former drinker, aborter, deserter and cocaine user) who cheated to get into power and ran as a compassionate moderate, but now is anything but. And they have a head of the congress who came to power by aiding and abetting the greatest polluters of nature in our country, the oil, chemical and pesticide cartels. Delay, Cheney and Bush all gained power partly by increasing pollution in this country in exchange for campaign cash. And if you think that's Christian, you're just plain polluted yourself. Try going to a real church one of these days. The kind not affiliated with a major political party. |
