The religious right isn't

Why do democrats give the so-called values voters credit for being religious . It is long past time we call these bigots out for what they really are BIGOTS.
For a long time I have read the bible and can not figure out what bible these people read. They are so filled with hate .
For the life of me I cant understand what makes these people think other then hate.

zealots, who think they are the only ones that can interpret what God really says in the Bible. They justify their wrongs with all kinds of excuses and impose their interpretation on the rest of us.

is negative. In other words, the Religious Right beliefs are diametrically opposed to the teachings of Jesus, as written in the N.T.

Many Christians predict that within 40 years, Jesus will return to Earth. I that were to happen,
the Religious Right better stock up on asbestos suits.
