Reader Comment: [So True of The Religious-Right] 

“Ironically, the Fallwell, Dodson, Robertson generation in their panic to preserve their version of christianity have done more damage to the faith than any of its enemies. They were really culture warriors raging against their loss of power and privilage with civil rights, women's liberation and sexual freedom and using religion as the fig leaf to justify their agenda.

The central message of Jesus is love, acceptance, service, sacrifice and reconciliation with God and each other. But Dodson and company shoved that message into the closet and replaced it with judgement, hate and control, wielding the republican party like a club to try and force people back into a 1950's world that never was.
