Some of the same people castigating Christians for doing nothing castigated the Morla Majority movement for “injecting religion” into politcs, as if Christians shouldn’t have a special interest as much as any other group, and accused them of attempting to foist a theocracy on the US. Christians can’t win with these people-either we don’t do enough, or when we actually speak up in the political arena, we’re trying to force theocracy.
That is an excellent point. Christianity truly doesn’t have a home with either political party, it seems. Our country has turned it’s back on God in favor of a secular world view. The main thrust of the article seems to be that Reagan understood that political battles are at the root spiritual wars ( the dissonance between communism and democracy) He rightly pointed out that communism isn’t just a different economic system but is truly evil, and by evil he meant a demonic scheme to separate men from God. Furthermore, the point is that until you call out true evil for what it is and rally against it, you cannot and will not win. The Republican Party has not learned this lesson. Reagan understood political battles to be spiritual battles. How many self professed political conservatives truly believe in the existence of evil and believe America to be “One nation under God?”
