Muse Wisely: "[Democrats] need somebody who can cogently explain (citing chapter and verse) why Jesus does in fact NOT hate gay people. For those of you who are secularists and want to see the society move away from religion, not towards it, I say that before a society moves away from their religion in general, they need to move away from fanatical versions of it (and I would describe many of the right-wing evangelical denominations as fanatical). We need to present a world in which you can be a Christian and a liberal, not where one necessarily excludes the other."
I cited boston here as he talks about what democrats need to do NOW. Having lost all three branches of government (and apparently, any hope of an olive branch of peace in this world, tee-hee) where do they go now? And I think one of the fundamental problems we're coming to, especially in the south and the frickin' bible belt, is that of christendom. I've never been a fan of any organized religion, especially running my country, but since we seem so polarized, we have to compromise. Look, the liberals lost this election HARD. And apparently that's because they didn't appeal to the voters. Apparently, and it pains me to say it, lots of Americas seem to prefer a Jesus who promotes the KKK and "throw-the-jew-down-the-well"esque presentations over those of peace and love. If we could fight those fanatical forms of christianity (where marriage isnt for gays, but for a man and his sister), we could probably bring this country back to the left. Barack Obama in 2008?
