Here's more of what the author has to say about the "Christian Right":
"The Bible teaches that human life begins with the breath and we become living souls. This idea of the breath of life is constant throughout scripture, there is no denying it among a Berean spirit but the question of when life begins is turned around by the Christian Right as a ruse to end the dialogue. Once abortion is tantamount to killing little children - insight, reason and the Bible have to be glazed over to convince a church that it is not a question about an unborn fetus any more but baby murder.
The Christian Right became a bastion of undemocratic power. When confronted with truth, they felt their piety was attacked and instilled martyr complexes for the faithful. Religious persecution was feigned as they became victims and waited upon God for vindication, the unborn was used as pawns. Then the outright hostilities, no longer liberty and justice for all, it was a vendetta against the "liberal agenda" and everything that was not pro-family was demonized; if liberals win, they will ban the Bible and bring God's wrath upon our nation. These attitudes didn't produce a quality of grace upon the people but repression.
This has been going on for years. Without the true love and grace in the church necessary for spreading the gospel to the poor effectively, the repression made America into a fearful, schizophrenic, selfish, materialistic, anti-church society on one side and a fearful, schizophrenic, selfish, materialistic, false church society on the other side vying for political power. This is enough to confuse even a godly remnant.
Once appealed in the way of the Christian Right, a luke warm church starts thinking that this repression is the way of the Bible and gets sucked into a quagmire of lies and compromise. They preach fear, saying liberals will take over the courts, take Christian freedoms away, take God out of everything, make gay marriages legal, are anti-family, are ungodly reprobates and infidels, murder infants and old people, the enemy of true patriotic Americans. All the while, true social reform suffers everywhere.
Enough of this propaganda and they got people convinced that if you give money to these prophets and teachers, you are giving to God and helping to spread the "word." So it spreads and spreads until it is the voice of choice for Christians called for a war against sin. What a whitewash. The Christian Right became very successful at it. George Bush may be a buffoon but he is our buffoon and we all love Jesus. We should be praying for our President like the Bible tells us to and not bashing him.
Fact is that I am praying for George Bush - that he gets beat. I heard a false spirit calling for the abolition of term limits. If he acts like Antichrist sitting atop the darkness of Babylon, get rid of him. There is only one way to do that. We are dealing with life and death issues, faith, truth, grace and freedom and Bush has his trigger finger on the biggest weapons of mass destruction. The remnant must stand up for justice for the world against the nature of the beast. A divided American church is blind to it. We can speak out and that is to remind them of economic democracy, freedom of choice, human and religious rights, liberality and justice. This is the true liberal agenda but antichrist forces seek to destroy that. We can see through this world system. "
