Todd Akin Defended by Religious Right Leaders

Countering another thread, here's more information about religious leaders who are supporting Akin's evil ideas. In the other thread, progressive religious leaders condemn those ideas. In this thread, conservative religious leaders do just the opposite.

I'd expect nothing less. "Religious Leaders" is a meaningless term, unless it is modified by some adjective or another.

Todd Akin has been in Florida this week at the Council for National Policy convention discussing his political future with Ralph Reed and other Religious Right leaders. While the GOP's top brass is running from Akin, he has been defended by, among others, the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins and American Family Association's Bryan Fischer. Joining in the fray is Georgia-based American Vision, led by Christian Reconstructionist Gary DeMar.

If you think Akin is extreme, take a look at DeMar's anti-abortion agenda.

Very confusing, religion is. Deities are as we want them to be, I'm afraid.

Every man has his own deity! A chicken in every pot. A car in every garage.
