I found this great editorial I found, People of the Lord is starting to see these nut bag Evangelicals for what they are.
“First they hijacked the flag; now they’re after the cross”
By Colbert I. King
The whole thing can be read at the SunHerald.com, but here is a few good parts.
The American flag was appropriated by the political right wing years ago. Now the Christian right is trying to hijack religion. This time it shouldn’t be allowed to happen without a fight.
-snip-
Emboldened by their appropriation of the flag, ideologues on the right have now set their sights on religion, and specifically Christianity, as the means to promote their political agenda. And as the promoters of “Justice Sunday” national telecast have demonstrated, there is no depth to which they won’t sink in their campaign to seize the country.
The statement by one of the sponsors of Sunday’s event, Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, is an example of the Holy War that is being launched by the right. In one of the most outrageous smears to be uttered by a so-called religious leader, Perkins said that “activist courts, aided by liberal interest groups… have been quietly working under the veil of the judiciary, like thieves in the night, to rob us of our Christian heritage and our religious freedoms.” That is an unmitigated lie that should not be allowed to stand.
Which judges are out to rob Christians of their heritage? That is religious McCarthyism. Perkins should name them, provide evidence of their attempted theft of “our Christian heritage” or retract that statement with an apology. Don’t count on that happening.-snip-
They are not now and never will be the final arbiters of Christian beliefs and values. They warrant as much deference as religious leaders as do members of the Ku Klux Klan, who also marched under the cross.
Well said, Please go and read the whole thing, all of it is a great read.
