re: #486 GunstarGreen

This is a significant source of the die-hard Republican base. I don’t want to disparage religious folk too very much, but suffice it to say that, especially here in the deep south, people are very… receptive to what their preachers have to say.

And their preacher telling them that Democrats are more or less pure evil incarnate that want to turn everyone into gay pedophile junkies has an effect on their political calculus.

Which is why I love my church. In the sermon last Sunday our Preacher practically castigated most of the religious right for losing their minds since Obama got elected and openly wondered why some Christians feel it’s perfectly fine to act all proper most of the time but cuss like a sailor on Facebook because you don’t like who is in the White House.

He also spoke about how Christians are destroying the church by not living the way Jesus would. In other words, not practicing what we preach. This sermon drew huge enthusiasm from the congregation.
