Even Stalin and Mao used religion while openly preaching dogma against it..
Jesus came to make ALL religion obsolete, yet we have many "Christian" religions.. Seems the "sheep" will have a religion even if its run by a cabal of wolves.. maybe the "sheep" are destined to be sheared and used as farm animals to be farmed.. i.e. Socialism.. Communism.. and other forms of materialism.. dialectic or otherwise... like in Canada or URP..
"The Democratic Party has increasingly had a problem as being perceived as secular fundamentalists."
Hmmmmm? Could that perception come from THEIR ANTI-CHRISTIAN ACTIONS ..?? Removal of GOD from everything; no school prayer; attacking the Boy Scouts; removal of Nativity scenes from public view .. etc., while forcing Muslim instruction and Muslim dress in our schools; allowing Muslim prayer rooms at schools, while Christian children are ridiculed for praying.
I'd say our "perception" of their attitudes and beliefs is right on target. If they want the public to BELIEVE something else about them - then their ACTIONS have to change.
No where is the issue of protecting marraige mentioned in this article. They are not really serious.
"The Democrats are turning to the guy they can find that is least scary to them"
That would have been a more appropriate title.
"Jim Wallis, one of the few prominent left-leaning leaders among evangelical Protestants."
Saying that he is an evangelical doesn't necessarily make him one.
So they are trying to make it that religion is just an ecconomic philosophy against poverty. This is the same BS that the left used during the cold war to say christianity is communist.
The left is self delusional and they can not become extinct fast enough.
