DISQUS

Glad to see this piece being circulated, and I appreciate your creative approach to it. And thank you for respecting the author and referencing where you found the original.

"It’s been infuriating to watch Democrats run away from religion, as if believing in Jesus was a crime." Amen, brother. I've been on the www for 12+ years trying to persuade Liberals and Democrats to like Christ more and Christians to recognize that they should be "Liberals Like Christ". Check out my http://LiberalsLikeChrist.Org/ . You'll love it.

As for the separation of church & state, that's a very tricky subject, but so important that I published some great insights on that issue under a separate web site called http://churchvstate.org/ .

I'm believe that Jim's "God is neither a Republican nor a Democrat" is a red herring. No one seriously claims either of the above. The question isn't what GOD is, but what "godly Americans" should be. And those who can't imagine that god favoring a political party, think for a minute. The "godly people" of Germany could easily have kept the Nazis out of power, if only they had support the Liberal Democratic Party when that party was in a position to defeat the Nazis. Instead, the Catholic Church bowed to Hitler's wishes and disbanded its explicitly Christian "Centre Party" and allowed its members to join the Nazi Party.
So contrary to Jim Wallis, I argue that because the Democratic Party has a much better record of promoting the values of the Gospels than the Greedy Old Party, that party has EARNED the endorsement of enlightened "Liberals Like Christ". See http://LiberalsLikeChrist.Org/Democrats .

Glad you found our website worthwhile enough to speak of it to your readers and include us in your Links. Thank you and best wishes.
