I disagree. Or, rather, I think serious political discourse can be a much bigger tent than many people assume it is. The evangelical megachurch vote is a rapidly growing demographic with a host of political concerns. It’s a rapidly growing group. And it’s likely to split about evenly between McCain and Obama.
(via squashed)
The evangelical megachurch having power as an entity asking for specific religious-based laws of the government is contrary to everything this country was founded on.
I am for freedom of religion, & against all maneuvres to bring about a legal ascendancy of one sect over another.
