(1,247 posts)One has to say "liberal Christian" these days to get any traction. What people don't understand is that the so-called Christian right is a creation of the political far right, probably as an inoculation against the very social justice aspect of Christianity that we are discussing.
People don't understand that William F. Buckley Jr. (remember young Americans for Freedom?) funneled a ton of money into on-campus conservative Christian groups. The Campus Crusade for Christ came out of that. If I recall correctly, William F. Buckley's Young America Foundation (which has outlived his death) is the single largest off-campus funder of on-campus activities, completely dwarfing all other off-campus donors.
When so-called Christian media supports drone attacks on children or openly advocates for the killing of a foreign president, they are no longer Christian but political activists, and not of a moral kind.
