“taking back religion from the conservative Christians.”

Doesn't taking something back imply you had it to begin with? Lefty "religious" types are the most arrogant, self-centered, and hypocritical group I've ever encountered.

Thoughtomator, I don't think Chuck missed anything...when he talks about a unifying theme, he's talking about a theme that will enable them to become the "real" voice of religion in politics. the theme you cite is certainly the idea they are most unified around, but it won't get them anywhere when it comes to getting the public to listen.

The funniest part is they think we're arrogant and paint us as thinking we've heard directly from God in some special way, but their whole schtick depends on believing that they have a special insight that's extra-Biblical and yet godly. In other words, they hear from god in a special way we mere knuckledraggers can't understand, and the conduit of God's voice is lefty colleges.

I've noticed a lot of them aren't terribly bright, either, especially considering they're the wing of the Church that is supposedly more intellectual. Take for example, the pastor of a lib church here in town, who told me (that my protest against a local appeasenik group was the same as restricting their right to speak and vote, and also told me he was a big supporter of the troops but was worried that American flags and a "Honk if you support the troops" sign would reflect badly on his church. He was right, BTW, another pastor from his denomination was passing through town and called him up to ask him why he was tolerating the actions of "that jongoist member of your congregation I keep seeing outside your church."
