I've tried to be clear, but as you say, you ignore the major points and harp on the minors.
I am a historian. The connections between modern Republicanism and modern Christianity are FACT, probably to the detriment of both.
If there was a similar unholy alliance with the Green Party, the Democratic Party, the American Communist Part ence of beliefs when the Bible condemns nearly everything central to the Republican platform.
I'm inquiring why they seem to think they have a convergence of beliefs when the Bible condemns nearly everything central to the Republican platform.
======================================
In making a statement like this, how different are you from someone saying "the Bible condemns nearly everything central to the Democrat platform"?
Is there a nickel's worth of difference? I don't think so.
Okay, with great aplume you inform us that the Bible condemns nearly everything central to the Republican platform. Meanwhile somone like Ann Coulter or Ralph Reed proclaims with equal confidence that it is nearly unthinkable that one could be a Christian and sympathetic to the Democrat platform.
In your attempt to critique them you become exactly like them. Yet you say yours is the objective research of a historian.
Are we suppose to be impressed with your unbiased and objective research ? You'll have to do a little better than that to impress me.
You've got me wondering about the convergence of modern historical scholarship and with their biased methods and the religious activisim of the religious Right.
How come you both seem to have the same flavor ? "The Bible condemns nearly everything that party stands for, ya know?"
