(1,674 posts)They have laid stake to one "faith" and are using it as justification for as an extension of power. It is precisely what the founding fathers tried to avoid. There are three things that bother me here.
1) Can we please say GOP. If I were to look at my beliefs you'd have to say that I'm a republican (note the small r,) continuing to bless this band of authoritarian (if I'm being kind) with a respectable sounding belief system is really galling.
2) Why the "mainline" denominations are not pushing back on this is concerning. If all evil needs to triumph is good men to do nothing, then how do you line the "mainline" groups up.
3) Quoting scripture won't do any good. They'll just go look up the inverse hammer quote and pat themselves on the back.
