Faith Based Politics Guarantees Conflict
From The New York Times [reg. req.]
The sometimes heated discussion, which focused on abortion and gay marriage, played out on the NBC News program "Meet the Press" with the Rev. Jerry Falwell, founder of the Moral Majority; the Rev. Al Sharpton, the minister-politician who ran in the Democratic primaries; Jim Wallis, editor-in-chief of Sojourners magazine; and Dr. Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Commission.
When there is no evidence to back up your beliefs, there is no objective referent to agree upon. It always comes down to one man trying to impose his fantasies about God on another. Ultimately, the man who uses the greatest force will win out.
