If you're on DU, you probably aren't one of the guilty ones. My point about the silence of the mainstreamers holds, though, doesn't it? When the right-wing loonies start baying at the moon, no voice rises to offer challenge or clarification.

It's not MY job either -- I'm not even a Christian -- so let's agree that it's not a division-of-labor issue. It's a matter of who lays the strongest claim to a world faith, and whose vision and version will bring the most good.

If the mainstream congregations of Christianity want their damned faith back, they are going to have to wrestle people even dumber than Reggie White to get it. They have to start by objecting to its betrayal by the right wiing.
