Faith emerging as new fault line in U.S. politics

and some FREEPERS who break out in hives at the sight of anything close to a mention of God in Breaking News or Extended News regardless of how warranted or fitting.

Totally untrue.

This article is a good example of a post concerning religion that should be in the news forum.

If you would compare and contrast this article with the theological fulminations of the Prophet Frangipane which you posted last night, you will learn why that thread was moved to religion while this thread will properly stay in the news forum.

It's a judgment call.

And I think your judgment is exceedingly narrow and rigid.

If I had thought that much about it, I'd have put the neuterized, secularized portion of the email/article in the post and the rest in a comment later or some such. But my custom is to take it as I receive it and post things rather uncensored.

At this point I will likely bother at least the Lead Moderator and perhaps even trouble Jim before posting things which might annoy you and others of your bent.

So, enjoy your victory and smugness. I still think you are exceedingly wrong headed about it all. But your influence is very effective. You may as well be thrilled about it.

Democrats support Gay rights, abortion and dislike Christianity (as evidenced by their preference of Gays and abortion supporters), much to the dismay of many democrats who hold religious beliefs emanating from the Bible. The facts Republicans revere life and oppose abortions in most instances, and believe gays have rights without preferences speak volumes. American Christians are tolerant of every type of person and compassionate towards those needing help, but democrats seem to prefer to attack Christian’s values and make “rights” the issues when demanding they get something while offending Middle America.

America’s wealth distribution does not require one check their morale values at the entrance of prosperity’s gates as does the democrat party who demands you both assault the family unit and reasonable thinking people. Socialism seeks only to destroy the morale foundation of people’s and this is the mantra of today’s democrat party.

Stating the underlying premise of the quite-accurate article another way:

"Those who will be going to heaven vote Republican; those who will be going to hell vote Democrat."

And once they arrive in hell, they will STILL be voting for Democrats, at least in certain areas of Chicago, Philadelphia, New Orleans and numerous other corrupt ghettos, thus ensuring that those places forever remain the hellholes that they are.
