The people on this thread who are utterly opposed to being inside a big tent with Christians of all kinds (conservative, moderate, or liberal)as well as those who have some form of critique of the current culture really should not have cause to complain about it. They are a better fit for the Democratic Party, and I suspect that they are in fact Democrats who are just here to play around with our heads. While I am not a conservative Christian, I have acquaintances who are and just about every one of them has no problem with Republicans who are not Christians or conservative Christians. They’ve told me that they have no problem with being in the same Party with non-conservative Christians like me. They are willing to subsume their issues with the larger goals of a smaller government Republican Party. So, who really are the intolerant ones?
I think we are dealing with a straw man that the opposition has set up in order to sow division amongst us and to demoralize us. And when I was on the Left in the Eighties I saw them do it on just this very issue. Matter of fact, at that time I was one of those people opposed to the Moral Majority because I had theological issues with them and did not want those people to have political hegemony in the country. The reality is that these people were not and are not a threat to us. But I’ve seen the Left work this angle quite successfully for a long time now.
Quite frankly, from my experience, many (not all) of the anti-Christian people have an agenda which they are less than forthcoming with. Personally, I have absolutely no problem with a small government libertarian who is not religious in the Republican Party. As long as they are not hostile to us religious folks.
