re: #40 Wishing
That is not quite true, my friend. There is much *literal* teaching in the Bible that they choose to skip over. Why they have latched on to this particular issue to politicize is beyond me, especially when it is beyond the grasp of most Christians, again, by choice.
Its not about Christianity, its about power, pure and simple.
Power is what any fundamentalist organisation is after, be they adherents of a 7th century religion or of Marx and Mao - or of a fundamentalist christian sect who is draping their greed for power in the modern clothes of ‘science’.
I’d go as far as to say that its not even about religion and the Bible - these are all nice little scenic props to guide the eyes of the observers away from what is really going on.
Ask yourselves who profits from having a badly-educated, scientifically illiterate young population?
Think about the past elections …
