This was on CNN's website today:
I cannot tell you how much this disgusts me. And how much I disagree with it, beyond the separation of church + state / legal issue. I don't understand how anyone who has actually studied the Bible can honestly say that the Republican candidate is more in line w/ what the Bible "teaches".
I have always felt that the Democratic party is the "kinder" party - the one interested in thriving families, good education, choices, equality, peaceful resolutions of conflicts, and taking care of those with less. They are the party not prone to quick anger, judgment, or wars. Oh, wait - I see now. These pastors are referring to the Old Testament when talking about the Bible. My bad!
Witness my continuing internal conflict with religion...

Because I want to be able to sleep tonight, I will not watch this yet! Ugh, indeed.
I'm with you. That made my skin crawl...my left-leaning is all about the love.
It infuriates me that recent attempts at even handed reporting on this subject just serve to validate what to me is such a contradictory belief system. Christianity that doesn't favor the poor or the disenfranchised? I don't get it.
