The following letter is scheduled to appear tomorrow morning in the Los Angeles Times
The evangelical pastors featured in The Times' story cannot be faulted for their political activism, which is protected under the 1st Amendment. The problem is their distortion of the Christian faith.
How can any sensitive Christian support the death penalty, the proliferation of firearms, unjust wars of choice, the dismantling of the social safety net, increased riches for the wealthy at the expense of everyone else, the rejection of medical coverage for the poor, the continual domination of American life by corporations and the rest of the Bachmann-Perry agenda?
When a significant slice of the church loses its hold on everything Jesus stood for, the problem is religious heresy, not political activism.

These fools in fancy robes need to read the Bible.

Unfortunately, the Religious Right has a tremendous capacity for Orwellian double think.
