Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. And what does this mean? Related to Ann's book that is.
The fact is I know some Democrat Christians who live more exemplary lives than Republicans.
I also believe there are certain Christian values better reflected in Democratic platforms, such as tolerance and charity.
Nevertheless, I think conservative Republican values are closer to Biblical Christianity on several big issues.
I just think Ann Coulter is going too far with her sweeping general condemnations of Democrats as all being Godless and her remark about the 9-11 widows has really aleinated a lot of people.

You are incorrect factually on the above comment made in your post. There was a published record of the states contributing the most to charity- they were the most conservative states. There are also other facts regarding charitable giving- and the fact those who call themselves conservative Christians far out give liberals. (Remember Al Gore's pathetic contributions of $200 a year? How about VP Cheney's recent charitable contributions- the larges from an elected official in recent years)
I could go on and on but it appears you've fallen for the fact Democrats TALK about giving but in actuality, they don't give like church going Republicans do. You can find data on this.
As for the word 'tolerance'- it is my least favorite word. The democrats speak about tolerance all the time- and look at the result. We have become a society who tolerates bad behaviour. My Bible tells me to love others BUT I am quite comfortable NOT being tolerant (i.e. accepting) of sin and bad behavior. Blessings to you! I do agree Ann should have used other words to make her point so many would not write her off.
