I can surely read. I can also surely tell one type of Christian from another. The general populace, however, cannot. Now, there are some members on this board who are more than happy to profess their personal liberal form of Christianity and who believe that will be enough to turn the tide of warped world view that the wingnuts have created. I'm just here to say: It isn't enough. The Wingnuts will continue to define each and every Christian until the non-wingnut Christians regain control of their religion.

So, once again I urge you to quit tossing the problems with your religion into the plight of the Democratic Party. It is, in all honesty, none of the party's business. If you (collective) want to change what has become nothing short of terrorism within your own ranks, then you need to step up to the plate and do so. Until that happens, don't expect non-Christians to necessarily understand there is a difference.

When Christians who truly follow the message of Jesus Christ are willing to stand up to the those within their own religion who seek no more than to spout violence and spawn hate, maybe the general populace of this country will understand there is a difference.

But, as I've stated before, preservation of the Christian religion is a problem for the Christians, not the Democratic Party. Feel free to remain comfortably numb in your own liberal congregation and with your own liberal ideas. Feel free not to go to bat against those who wish your religion harm. Feel free to completely ignore my call to action or, if you like, reduce your responses to me into illogical euphanisms. It really doesn't matter much to me because liberal Christianity or wingnut Christianity, I'll fight to keep them out of government just the same.

Those thoughts and actions of 'other' Christians which you claim are not your responsibility? Those are being done in your name. And those are the only thoughts and actions which are being protrayed on the nightly news, in the papers, and over the net. While you may not be able to change those thoughts and actions, someone... anyone... needs to stand up to them and offer a different viewpoint which is more inline with Christ's teachings. Until that happens, don't expect the vast majority of the public to understand the difference between your particular sect of Christianity and the one being spewed on the boob tube.
