The Bible, sin and evil, and Gay Rights are ALL in the Bible and the WAY the fight is going and the actual goal of those fighting for them are clearly spelled out in the Bible.

I have had conversations with people like Hanna. Unfortunately for them, they don't realize that the "problem" they have with Evangelicals is that #1 it threatens their warm-fuzzy view of a sinless/eviless world and #2 they don't like it when Biblically literate people are fighting for their values when they disagree with hers.

On a side-note, anyone see the CNN special? I was amazed at the virulent HATE spewed by the homosexual activites in SF against the minister guy they were featuring and yet Amanpoure was saying to him, "don't you see how hateful your words are and how you are stirring them up?" Yet the guy spoke calmly and loveling and with allot of concern.

Ken,

I assume that it's the fact that Rosin admitted this on her blog that you don't like, and not that she feels uneasy with evangelicals?

I would bet that some part of Bush's brain confuses his commitment to the war with his commitment to God.

White warned that religious-right leaders "are not just Neocons dressed in religious drag. These men see themselves as gurus called by God to rescue America from unrighteousness. They believe this is a Christian nation that must be returned forcibly to its Christian roots." He describes conservatives as the forces of "spiritual violence."

Isn't this all just precious?

But there's no antiChristian bias in the MSM. /sarcasm

"But not when those disagreements are loaded with the weight of sin and evil."

And that right there is the heart of the matter.  By and large the liberal, secular world view wants nothing to do with anything remotely looking like sin or judgement because doing so would require there to be an objective measurement of morality, i.e., God. 

And the Left wonders why so many people of faith do not trust them.

Y'know, seems to me a great many of the libs' arguments against conservative positions and people are couched in terms of good and evil.  They may not label people as sinners, but they're very free with accusations like: racist, homophobe, bigot, uncaring, unfeeling, greedy, etc., etc., etc.  Libs are moralists, but the code isn't written down anywhere.  That way, if you need to change one of your standards, there's no paper trail.

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

My friends and family include or are on good relations with people who profess a religious faith.  The problem we have is with those religious people who bring politics into this, in particular those that want to use the government to impose their religion on us.  They want to force my daughters and grand-daughters to undergo pregnancies against their will.  They harass my gay and lesbian friends and refuse to allow them to honor their relationships with marriage as I and my wife of 43 years have been allowed to.  We aren't forcing them to have abortions or forcing their gay and lesbian children to marry.  All these religious conservatives have to do is leave us alone, practice their religion at home or in their churches, and not force their religion on me.  To the extent that they are forcing their religion on others is the extent to which there will be people fighing back. 

of these people have absolutely NO KNOWLEDGE of the Bible. They are clueless as to who came first, Abraham or Moses or Jesus Christ. BUT they are such experts about Christians and Christianity in general.

I have seen that less than 4% of church attending Christians have ever read the Bible from cover to cover and less than .3%, (he said three tenths of one percent), of the American public have ever done so. YET we have all of these experts.

Sometimes it just gets worn out doesn't it!
