The Religious Right

I don’t think many in this country realize how powerful the religious right has become over the past 20 years in terms of their influence on our political system. Some of them are led by greedy posers who are using religion as a way of getting Christian voters to elect candidates who will do the bidding of people who only have their own financial interests in mind.  They are not interested in any kind of religious ideology to follow in their personal lives.  They just want to stay rich and powerful.  And they intend to use the large voting block of gullible very conservative Christians to do it. And then there are leaders who are the truly religious fanatics who have lost touch with the true message of Christianity, which is completely love centered.  These fanatics approach religion in terms of legalistic, rule-oriented, judgmental, punishing thoughts and actions.  There is no joy in their faith, no room for grace or charity, no tolerance of anyone who does not march in lock
