Poll question: Have you ever protested the Religious Right
Advertisements [?]
The Alito confirmation hearrings today were making my skin crawl. It seems that another fundie could very well be placed on the supreme court and wind up turning the clock back on America on all sorts of cultural and scientific policies. Yet I began to wonder how many of us here have actually protested the religous right?
I for one have. In may of 2000 I was asked to leave a church when the right of christian initian for adults to leave one church when I refused to take a pictures of women entering abortion clinics. I live in a small town and this is a very cliquish community. Just yesterday I put a sign on my wheelchair that said "Ask me about stem cell research" and went into the RC church and had a confrontation with that priest and two deacons. I fight with the religious right every month when I "Dirty word Lobby" for parkinsons disease research and stem cell research.
Fighting the religious right has pretty much become a large part of existence.
Yet I hold no ill will to the good christians on this page who are with me politically on the issues. I know there not in charge of the churches policys. In fact there are alot of christians on this page, and non believers too that I consider to be good friends.
Anyhow back to the point of this post. I was wondering if you ever fought the right and if so how? The advice our parents give us about ignoring bullies wont work. The theocrats will stop at nothing untill we live by thier archiac "political" belief system. So I was wondering if you have ever protested the right wing and if so how and if not why? If we dont pull together and start protesting on the doorstep of every fundie organization thier is there wont be a constitution to stand for. And we would have no one else to blame for it but ourselves. Hey half the year I am in a wheel chair and I can fight these bozos. Its not the hard, whose with me?
