FR posters have an unworkably narrow definition of Christianity.
I always thought that Christianity refers to those who follow Christ - has that definition been changed?
What Harris is saying (as if you did not know) is that atheists in positions of power see only themselves as the final moral authority.
What I heard Harris saying is that only Christians are fit to serve and to legislate correctly. The obvious conclusion is that she believes that those of other faiths are not. I believe that's called bigotry.
Again--the operative construct is that the distinction Ms. Harris draws is between those in elective office who are guided by and acknowledge a higher power than themselves--as did the Founders, and those who obviously believe that the self is the ultimate power.
Bigotry has nothing to do with it. So for example Jews, Orthodox Greeks, Russian Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Baptist, Episcopalian, all fit the definition of Christian. Or Judeo-Christian if you want to be exact. Atheists do not fit the description. So only an atheist should find Ms Harris' statement offensive or bigoted.
Didn't you get the memo?

I agree with you and will go so far as to say that it must be clar now that God must not want Katherine Harris as a senator if He allowes he to say such stupid things.
