63. They have crafted a new version of Christianity.

I think it is based on being born-again, combined with OT retribution, and a Puritanical view on wealth and deservedness (you are wealthy because you are a good person - poor because you live an unholy life).

You are right it is a sad scenario.

I think guys like Jim Wallis, who wrote God's Politics, need to get more play in the mainstream before the situation improves.
