If half of Republicans think the world is only 6000 years old, then this half has inheritance dose back to Egyptians debtor slaves. People are basically good, just many get hypnotized by organized superstition of crowd control for power.

Misguided Imagination can come off childish rather than advancing if not used god-like.

I think it is not only accurate about Moore but about most of the conservative Republicans in office right now.
They use a veneer of being good Christians to cover their greed and thirst for power.
For them, it's all about keeping the party intact with their good ole boys so they can operate with business as usual.

Yah… but whereas ‘mainstream christianity’ protects the often sick behavior of it’s local adherents, ‘political christianity’ attempts to anoint it’s chosen candidates with the same social immunity, because ‘might makes right.’

yep. agreed. there are a few sources that are using the bible to justify his seeking the 14year old girls when we would ordinarily ostracize him due to pedophilia, but those using this justification are being criticized by apologists who know there's nothing moral about Moore.

I certainly wouldn't argue with him when he's calling them out for hypocrisy.

It's more evidence of man remaking his god and religion to fit his personal aims rather than the other way around. It's probably what's been occurring with religion over the eons.

I agree that it's a gospel of greed running uncontrolled. Whether or not that is christianity? I am not so sure... There seem to be an awful lot of christians going for this crap in order to MAINTAIN their power, wealth, and status. Does that not suggest that having power, wealth, and status have always been a part of christianity? (possibly back to the rule of Constantine, anyway?)

He makes a good point, however the history of religion, notably Christianity, is littered with bodies, what the current republican party is up to today is an insupportable immorality utterly based upon the greed of its leadership and those who effectively own them, and the rampant bigotry of religious zealots desperate for validation (and I say this as someone who left the republican party because of this).
