I was just going on what you said in your previous post. You didnt say some American Chrtistians, or a few American Christians, or even a majority of American Christians. You just said American Christians. Yes I believe the folks on those shows are Hippocrites and because they essentialy say to send THEM your money and youll be healed or saved. And in the Bible JESUS does call them hippocrites(dont take my word for it look it up). So i guess according to you the "Real" Christian agenda is draped in abortion, gay marriage,and the Anti Christian Lawyers Union(ACLU). I have to disagree with all due respect and I will not vote for those who favor those things EVER!!!

I am saying that the United States of America is not
some "new" Israel. I am saying that every woman named
Rose doesn't smell like one, just as every person who
says "I am a Christian" doesn't "smell" like one. I
think that there is something in the USA called "the
Christian right" and that they often vote as a block,
based on only a couple of issues. Jesus called the
Pharisees "hypocrites," whether or not that applies
to Pat Robertson and Paul Crouch, I don't know. As
for abortion, gay rights etc., my point was that politicians
often use these wedge issues to turn out the vote, then,
when that vote has taken place, they don't really return
to these issues. The American Civil Liberties Union
defends freedom of conscience and has a history of
defending the weak and powerless against conglomorated
interests and bigots dressed in religious garments.
