Reply #32: This may be a hopeful sign

[Spiffarino]

The Republicans have for too long sought to co-opt Christianity by using wedge issues like abortions and gay sex. They have, successfully in may cases, managed to steer entire church communities into following their path of environmental and social degradation.

If his house was on fire, any sane Christian would choose to rescue a three-year-old child over a petri dish full of zygotes. Perhaps the crushing weight of reason is finally getting to them.

My hopeful, optimistic side believes that most Christians - Evangelical, Catholic, or otherwise - still remember what Christ taught. Perhaps their spirits are finally beginning to awaken.
