Don't Republicans do the same thing? By linking their political stances to Christianity they claim that any attack on them is an attack on "faith." There's nothing biblical about alot right wing Republican ideology. At best, it's an interpretation of the bible, no more or less valid than a more liberal interpretation of the Bible. Republicans have been acting. a. fool. politicizing religion in unprecedented ways over the last decade. They actually seem to think that God is so limited as to only back their unrderstanding of him. It's pretty low when you think about it. And pretty anti-Christian if you ask me. Most notably, the notion that God loves the lowest sinner as much as he loves the most faithful, because His love is limitless. So why have the Republicans been allowed to act like God chooses political sides and backs their policies over others. It's jacked up. And saying so isn't an "attack" on faith. It's an attack on the politicization of faith, and that's fair game.
