see my post below to cleanhippie. The problem, ultimately, rests with us, the progressive Christians, and not the media. While they are culpable in aiding the religious right, WE are the ones with the responsibility to admonish our brothers & sisters in Christ. I think the problem is many of us are hesitant to shove our opinions in others faces. We SHOULD be pushing back on some of our largest cultural issues: LGBT rights, reproductive rights, the environment, and I do try to sway people on these issues, but on a one-to-one basis. Its just my comfort zone. I am called as a Christian to GET OUT of my comfort zone and to announce what I believe is right, but, like getting out of a warm bed on a cold day, my mind always convinces me to stay in comfort just a few...more...minutes. :( Im getting better but there is much room for improvement.
