However, I really believe that the best way to accomplish that would be for the religious right to stop calling themselves "Christians", since they don't seem to be spreading the word of Christ.
Maybe they should call themselves Leviticussers or Genesisidiots or something....
What I would really like to see is a poll, and DUers can maybe help me. I don't know if I could ever persuade anyone to actually put this poll in the field, but if I could, I think it would raise some eyebrows about who are the most Christian among us.
1) Are you A) Republican, B) Democrat, or C) Independent/Other.
2) Do you consider yourself A) Christian B) Jewish C) Muslim or D) Other
3. For the following phrases, please indicate a whether you Strongly Disagree, Somewhat Disagree, Somewhat Agree, or Strongly Agree.
3.1) An "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" should apply to the foreign policy of the United States.
3.2) Terrorists should be treated with love and compassion.
3.3) Terrorists deserve forgiveness.
3.4) The "Golden Rule" should apply to the foreign policy of the United States.
3.5) The wealthy have a harder time getting to heaven than a poor person. 3.6) Peacemakers are blessed.
3.7) Things born of the flesh are simply flesh.
3.8) People should be more considerate of the poor.
3.9) Healthcare for all shoud be a policy of the United States.
Note: I could certainly use some help with this, but I hope you know where I am going with this. Each phrase was from the words of Christ that we should be following (with the exception of 3.1, which Christ said was not the way).
Please, if you have any suggestions for better wording or more phrases to put on the list, let me know.
Thank you.
