The basic idea here is Christianism (for lack of a better term) isn't good politics, and it isn't good religion either. I want to explore both ideas here, and keep tabs on overt Christianism in politics.
On edit: Ha, ha. I read the first post again. Addressing Creationism in a serious fashion, and force the Christian Taliban in this country (and we have them) to defend their anti-American, totalitarian beliefs.
The role of the Christian in a democratic society is a challenging one. There are temptations, and the most politically powerful Christians appear to succumb to them.
I should state at the outset:
- Nothing wrong with being a Christian.
- It is possible to be a Christian and in politics in America.
- It is possible to not be a Christian and in politics in America.
- Nothing wrong with not being a Christian.
The problem, as I see it, is when anyone denies any of these propositions. That's when both politics and religion is being perverted. Fortunately, the number of people who truly deny these ideas are few. What I'd like to do on this blog is find these people and keep tabs on them and show you what they're saying and why they're wrong.
Sounds simple.
