257. Why do you think "their beliefs" are dominant?
That is simply a trick of definition: that Christians are the majority, that all Christianity is the same, and that Bush is pushing Christianity.

The liberal democrat Christian you find here isn't exactly the most empowered individual. They are right here in the same doghouse as you. What's more, they are willing to share it with you. Why push them out, telling them their beliefs are outside, with Bush, with the fundies?

It isn't true, today. But we can MAKE it true by telling christians that they are silly, stupid people or that they are the same as Falwell and Robertson. I wonder how many Christians just write off liberalism without thinking, just because battle lines have been drawn with unfortunate and unnecessary theological baiting.
