The intensity of the Right and their convictions that they have all the answers, and that they tell us that those answers are firmly rooted in a Christian morality which is applicable for *all* scares the hell out of me.
Christianity would have been a great idea if they'd just left out the whole evangelistic imperative thing. A bunch of people running around being nice to everyone in the name of Christ would be an inspiration to all. A bunch of people running around, forcing everyone else to do what they believe Christ's dad wants everyone to do is an affront to humanity.
You have to admire our founders' decision to keep religion and government separate. When the Right bitches about liberal judges rewriting the Constitution, they need to keep in mind their own actions to put religion in every institution, organization and program.
