If it turns out that the hoorah is just about the fact that some Republicans are Religious Right, well, so what? Some aren't. I don't care whether someone's gay.
I'm consider myself Religious Right. That doesn't mean I think all sins should be legislated.
Christ didn't die to institute a legislative agenda, He died to save us from our sins.
There are lots of lazy nominal Christians who want the State to accomplish that which they are too lazy or too timid to do themselves: offer Christ as Savior to sinners. Their sloth and expediency is no excuse to re-enact the worst failings of the medieval Roman Catholic church as an arm of the State. And it is un-American to misuse the state's power in this way. This is what I distrust about FRC/Dobson/Perkins.
Some Religious Righters should really change the Lord's Prayer to be more honest about their ideals: "The State is my Shepherd, I shall not want..."
