Country Club Christianity

One of the state's leading right-wing blogs says everyone is ganging up on them:
That is why the leftists have so much hate for Christians. That is why they hate the teachings of love taught by Christ. Psychologically, the leftists cannot allow even the hint that some power outside their own egos decides what is right and wrong. As such, the leftists must deride those with Christian faith, insult them, and like a school boy, put their fingers in their ears and pretend that they cannot hear the truth.
It's one of the saddest, and most self-serving, arguments blogs like that employ, that liberals don't have a religious faith. Liberals just sit around, twiddling their thumbs all day, in between launching plots to subvert religious relations and bring down the United States.

Honestly.

What a bunch of codswallop.

It takes real brass to imagine that the only real Christians are people who want women to subordinate themselves to men; who support blank-check wars at the same time they want to cut off support for their less-well-off neighbors who must be spongers; whose response to the economic crisis is that we need more of the same nostrums that brought the economy to its knees, and who believe the solution to every problem is to enact another tax cut that benefits the already wealthy.

What if God turned up and said, "Sorry, you were wrong. You didn't love enough?"

  1. I left him a brief comment as follows:
    I don't know about other liberal Christians, but here is why most right wing Christians make me sick:

    "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men ... But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou has shut thy door, pray to the Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." --Matthew 6:6
