Legislating against gay marriage, for instance? "It's just cussedness."

it's about goddam time more of the r's spoke up and took a stand against the religious fascism oozing out of the christian right... i'm sure danforth is going to take an enormous amount of shit for this but, hey... i'm damn glad he has the guts to say what so desperately needs to be said - by r's, not by dems...

As a mainline Episcopal priest, retired U.S. senator and diplomat, Danforth worships a humbler God and considers the right's certainty a sin. Legislating against gay marriage, for instance? "It's just cussedness." As he sees it, many Republican leaders have lost their bearings and, if they don't change, will lose their grip on power. Not to mention make the United States a meaner place.

christianity, as i understand it, is a way of life based on love, compassion for your fellow man, helping those in need and the cardinal rule, "do unto others..." furthermore, i don't see those views as strictly the province of christianity... they're beliefs the united states was founded on... and, hell, they're even much more than that... they're prescriptions for life, for being human, for making the world a better place... can we get back to them...? it'd sure make things better in a hurry...
