4. Not all Christians I know are like that, but it seems that people
who are like that are getting a lot more press lately, and exerting a lot more power over our government. The RW has taken some of the least tolerant and humane aspects of Christianity, and blended them into politics. It seems unhealthy to me, too ... the fundamentalists' puritanism and repressiveness lead them to be unsympathetic and cruel to other people, in the name of God.... while the politicians that encourage them are really only interested in preserving their own power.
