Of course since our theocracy supports The One True God we won't be evil like those other theocracies

For God's sake

The strong influence of the Christian right on US policy will only increase if George Bush wins a second term, says Philip James

Friday April 23, 2004

Evangelical lobbyists used to talk about access to previous Republican administrations. Today, they can say with confidence: "Who needs access when we are already on the inside?"
The influence of the Christian right on the Bush White House is self-evident. As well as George Bush, cabinet members Condoleezza Rice, John Ashcroft and Don Evans all consider themselves to be born again.

This administration has embarked on a bold agenda to roll back liberalism in the US, and won't let up if it gets a second term.

The title you've given this entry reflects the attitude I see from a number of commentors on my blog why it's OK when they act in ways they condemn in others. It's not exclusive to any one group of course but it seems to be more common.

All theocracies worry me. The leaders inevitably identify with the deity, and the fun/trouble begins.

You know what I'd like? I'd like everyone to let their religion shape their life, and let their life shape the world. This business of trying to shape the world with religion such that lives can only form one particular way is NOT working.

I agree with you about that.
