I think we’re merging the calls to action a faith may place on you and what those who claim they follow the faith actually 1) do and 2) tell people they do.

I can’t speak for SFZ, but how I read his comment (and my issue with the Christian right) is those politicians who scream loudest about living a Biblically-informed, God-filled, and Christian life advocate the strongest against policies which would actually do these things (unless it involves sex or abortion).

Let me be clear. I am only talking about the Conservative Bible crowd, which is, God willing, a small group. I am revolted by their apparent inability to distinguish between their religious beliefs and their political beliefs, and their apparent willingness to sacrifice one on the altar of the other.
