Sometimes I don’t understand how you can fuck up the rule of no religion in politics. It seems pretty clear cut to me. When you’re running for office, sure, you might be a [Monotheistic Belief Structure of your Choice], but when you obtain the status, you put that part of you aside. You are the representative of the people of your country, people who have all different beliefs.
In a nation where religion is practiced freely (or should be, at least), the only way to combat the issues of religion mingling with politics is to focus on the secular concerns of the people. For me, I understand this to mean civil liberties and rights. Typically I don’t really go on political rampages here on the blog since I try to keep to a practical level of information, but I think you know that I am all about women’s issues, gay issues, and really, human issues.
For the last several months, it has become dishearteningly evident that the modern day Republican Party just hates women and gays, and nobody can argue with me when I say it’s because of religion. Well, no, that’s a little too politically correct. Let’s just cut the bullshit – radical Christianity has obliterated the rights women and gays have in this country. And it’s a constant reminder that nobody has been penalized for using Christianity as a tool to gain power over those they perceive to be weaker, second class citizens.
