We can still do one thing to fight the religious right
How do you deal with a bully? You bloody it's nose. I say we start picketing and protesting all right wing churches in our town. I say we picket dobson and fawell and the 700 club right smack dab on thier doorstep. I say we knock Fred Phelps on his ass hard. Now's the time. Imagine if the 700000 of us would protest the bishop council and tell them to stay out of our lives. What do you think whose with me?

Note this post "IS NOT" directed at the good and kind christians on the page. It's directed at the theocrats, the "Policy makers' of the church, that am suggesting we fight with. Liberal Christians rock.:D Now I say lets take that rock and throw it at goliath's head. :D Who is with me?

1. Who gives a shit about the religious right anymore?
It's CORPORATE right that will take all our rights and kill us all.

5. I think you might be right
I think the religious right is far less powerful than they think they are. It's the money. Power rests with money. And that is with the corporations. Now, they court the right, but they are whore and court whomever they think is paying. Their minds can be changed easily. The religious right is spending all their money on huge churches and McMansions. They don't have much left.

2. That's the problem with Churches. You cannot tell anything just
by watching someone go into a particular building.

3. Then maybe christians need to re-think what type of
church they are supporting.

6. So do that. Ask their leaders questions. Write books about them.
Discuss, discuss, discuss.

It isn't Xtianity. It is a certain kind of xtianity.

4. A wild thought that has intrigued me for some time.....
What if we "stealthy" them....we start joining their churches and start working from the inside?
