Remember these words: "God is Not a Republican. Or a Democrat?" They were part of the promotion by the Religious Organization, Sojourners, and their Director, Jim Wallis, back in September 2004, just before the election.
Mr. Wallis's book, "God's Politics: How the Right Gets it Wrong, and the Left Doesn't Get it" is a must read, whether you are Christian or not. It clearly spells out how the GOP have hijacked God, and Christianity to carry out an agenda that has nothing to do with God, Jesus, Allah, or Buddah, or whatever your beliefs are.
It also provides you with the tools you need to take down a religious whack job who bereates you for not going along with the "Nuclear Option", GeeDubya's foreign policies, lies or MSM non-reporting of the obvious.
The Republicans started this "holy war" by declaring that if you weren't a Republican, you weren't a Christian.
I raised hell when I saw that, then and now, because I AM A CHRISTIAN, and everything the Republicans stand for, including their version of "Family Values" is in direct conflict with what the Bible teaches.
If you know that to be human means to have:
Love for your fellow man - even if you disagreed with them, or they weren't "your kind"
Concern for the poor, the downtrodden and helpless, the elderly, the sick, widows and orphaned children
Care for the environment
Then, these are the questions that should be asked of any RELIGIOUS RIGHT WHACK JOB, especially when they want to call you out for disagreeing because they are drunk on GeeDubya's Kool-Aid:
"IF YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN, THEN WHY DO YOU HATE HUMANITY?"
"DID JESUS HATE HUMANITY? IF HE DID, PLEASE GET OUT YOUR BIBLE AND SHOW IT TO ME."
"DID JESUS HAVE NO COMPASSION FOR THE POOR? SHOW ME WHERE IN THE BIBLE DID HE DEMONSTRATE THAT HE HAD NO COMPASSION FOR THE POOR?"
"SHOW ME WHERE JESUS SAID IT'S OKAY TO GO TO WAR BASED ON A PACK OF LIES. DIDN'T JESUS SAY THAT SATAN WAS 'THE FATHER OF LIES'?"
Questions like that. Feel free to develop your own, in similar context.
I promise you - whether you are Christian or not, ask a GOP Wing Nut those questions...and see what response you get. Please feel free to send me an email if you have had, or should have such encounters with a whack job and you challenge them to back up their idiotic statements with facts.
Remember, the best way to deal with a bully is to fight back. Ever notice how the GOP doesn't like to be questioned on ANYTHING?
That's probably because they don't have the ANSWERS!
