What I meant by ‘viable media’ is the media challenging these characters over their knowledge of the Bible and its various interpretations; e.g.: if you’re going to use Leviticus to say that gays are evil or sinful or whatever, you should also ask them about some of the other ‘laws’ in the same book that Republicans habitually flout like eating pork, wearing two types of fabric together, shaving their beards, donating a certain portion of their wealth to charity, treatment of strangers (such as immigrants), etc. If you’re going to strut around like you’re the ‘true Christian’ candidate, you should know what you’re talking about and explain why you aren’t following every word of the Bible in your daily conduct. Instead, our supine MSM lets them get away with this phoney-baloney self-righteousness, except for C-Span on occasion. It’s disgusting.

Sorry I was late getting to this; I’ve had some health problems lately.

db, I’m not religious but I have a Village Agnostic’s knowledge of the Bible, which is more than most of the True Believers have. The blatant and outrageous hypocrisy of the religious right is what really offends me. They love Jesus only up to the point where they have to actually follow what he said. If we had a viable media, this would be a major issue. If…

I saw a bumper sticker recently, “Proud Member of the Religious Left”. It’s about time that we quit letting the Right claim exclusivity on Jesus.
