Good post cbtboy,

I think,in the U.S., at least that the Gay Marriage issue, the abortion issue and to a lesser, more fringe element, extent the silly Evolution issue are used to fire up Christians for political gain.

I have a Conservative Christian brother that was talking about the conspiracy to discriminate against Christians. When asked to cite examples, he used the abotion debate. I countered with the fact that no one is forcing people to have abortions! But it used to show the moral decay of the U.S. (simply no truth to that in my book).

And I hear talk from conservatives about the Homosexual agenda, total B.S. as well. Most gays I know are happy with some of the strides they have made but none are trying to recruit people to their "cause." ANd Gay marriage supposedly damages heterosexual marriage, HOW has never been answered.

And some of the most loving parents I know are same-sex parents.

But the leaders of these Christrian political movements use these issues to fire up their base. It is really sad to me.

And you didn't write too much, I liked reading what you said. ANd I tend to go on and on myself.

Thanks cbtboy, good post
