Hypocrisy Among American Fundamentalists

Damn it! You made me agree with Donald Trump.

I'm still pretty sure Ronald Reagan is the anti-Christ. I'm just waiting for him to rise from the dead. I wonder if the Twenty-second Amendment applies to zombies.

That would depend on whether or not their political agenda aligns with Jesus' teaching. I have no problem with preachers suggesting that their parishioners "should" vote for candidates who support feeding the hungry, healing the sick, etc.

It's a pastor's job to tell his congregation how their consciences tally with what God wants them to do. The point of religion is largely to adjust people's consciences. That's a pretty poor case in point. I said, "candidates who support feeding the hungry, healing the sick, etc." not candidates who support socialism. I disagree. If we're paying the taxes anyway, we should be electing middle men who are going to use the money according to our consciences.

I'm saying that it isn't enough to just donate of your own volition. In a democracy, we have a moral obligation to speak up about where our taxes go. I, for one, would rather see my taxes go toward feeding homeless people instead of toward policing them off the street.

Today. Much of the abuse of gay people is religion-based.
