"The author is playing the same childish game as Hillary Clinton was when she said in a 02/06/97 CNN interview, "I have to confess it has crossed my mind that you could not be a Republican and a Christian." ~ Ichneumon
The religious opinions of Moral Relativists like Clinton are meaningless. God isn't a moral relativist.
You may be interested in a letter I wrote to a confused commentator a couple of weeks ago. Haven't heard a word back from him. Hahahaha
Greetings, Mr. Sandon:
Beneath your commentary you invited your readers to email you if they wanted to comment on it. I have two observations for your consideration (and would love to hear back from you if you have a cogent, unemotional rebuttal). They can be found below this link to your article:
The Tallahassee Democrat Sat, Oct. 02, 2004
"God is not a Republican or a Democrat" By Leo Sandon
http://www.tallahassee.com/mld/tallahassee/living/columnists/leo_sandon/9813044.htm
Observation #1:
There is "God" and then there are the various figments of some men's imagination that each relates to and communicates with as his/her "god".
In other words, there is reality, and then there is the fake, but personally comfortable reality that the emotionally immature concoct in their heads in order not to feel guilty about anything. The more emotionally mature one is, they more able they will be to have the courage to face absolute moral truths.
Whether one is able to face it or not, the Constitution of the United States was put into place to guard absolute (self-evident) moral truths. It is a meaningless document otherwise.
But relativists don't believe in objective, absolute / self-evident / unchangeable moral truths that are true for all people at all times, in all places. Their *truths* are subjective and can be ADAPTED to fit situations.
To a relativist, the Constitution is a "living document", subject to being able to be adapted to changing moral ideas/situations in a society.
The Religious Left is fond of asking the trick question, "Is God/Jesus a Democrat or a Republican?"
But moral relativists can be found in both parties, so the only legitimate question to ask is, "Is God/Jesus a moral relativist?"
The god of moral relativists IS a moral relativist.
The flagship magazine of The Religious Left is called: Sojourners - Posted here: 20

Observation #2:
Saul Alinsky. Hillary Clinton and The Religious Left follow his "be adaptive" instructions "religiously". Sojourners:

Books: Rules for Radicals and Reveille for Radicals - By Saul Alinsky
In the 60's, as a radical mentality herself at Wellesley, Hillary Clinton was so enamored of Saul Alinsky and his *methods* she wrote her senior thesis under his mentoring.
She uses his "how to fool the useful idiots by ADAPTING to whatever is necessary for the moment" tactics to this very day. In her quest for the presidency, she is already laying that groundwork by pretending to be "for the war".
As you know, in 1992, she and her "adaptive" husband ALSO pretended that they really aren't Liberals but instead, professed to be "New Democrats" in order to get elected.
Today, the left-wing "old media" that they rely on so heavily to cover for them, is on the ropes thanks to the pioneering efforts of Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge, the Web Logers (Bloggers), Free Republic.com, et.al.
The genie is out of the bottle. And because of that fact, WE impeached Clinton and his "wife" will never be president.

Another letter I wrote a couple of days ago to O'Reilly:
Dear Mr. O'Reilly,
Please consider my pithy request to have Dr. Ronald H. Nash, PhD on your show for balance when you feature representatives from the religious left. (His credentials can be found here: http://www.biblicaltraining.org/classes/apologetics/frame.html)
I have many of his books, one of which is entitled, "Why The Left is Not Right - The Religious Left: Who They Are and What They Believe" [Zondervan, Grand Rapids Michigan - 1996].
In it, he examines the writings and work of three major figures who have shaped the current Religious Left scene: Jim Wallis, editor of Sojourners magazine; Ron Sider, president of Evangelicals for Social Action; and Tony Campolo, professor of sociology at Eastern College.
If you're interested in granting my request, I think you'll be able to contact him at this email address: Ronnsh@aol.com
As an aside, you may be interested in the comments I made in the thread I'm linking you to below [Please refresh your browser for the latest posts]:

"Since O'Reilly had a couple of guys on his program last night (10-21-04) from the Religious Left - one of whom was specifically referred to as being affiliated with Sojourners - the flagship magazine of the Religious Left - maybe we should request that he give equal time to a Capitalist like Ron Nash."
