What makes you so sure that the government runs things now? (with regard to the church?)
I mean evangelicals for years stayed away from politics because it was corrupted.

Yeah, that's true. I think most people just automatically assume that in this day and age of technological achievement, we're smarter than we used to be. However, the average person is less smart than the average person of 50 years ago, and the illiteracy rate in this country has jumped from roughly 1%, to nearly 20% over the past 50 years. Quote:
That was the message in the early 1990's, when abortion became such a huge issue. Republicans took the moral stance and moral approach. Many people feel it was their duty to vote Republican on account of that issue alone, to be good citizens and good Christians. Then Clinton comes along with all his sexcapades in the late 90's, and it was the nail in the coffin of the Democratic party. David Duke could have won president in 2000 for the R's. Now, you've got George W. Bush and Sean Hannity constantly thumping the bible, and making the good Christians feel like voting Democrat is a sheer act of betrayal, and sacrilege. That, and you know they're in bed with the major religious leaders. Now you've got John McCain meeting with the most despicable, apocalyptic-forecasting, homophobic religious leader, that guy in San Antonio, what's his name. I know that was pretty anti-climactic, sorry. |
