"It is the responsibility of...every evangelical Christian...to get serious about re-electing President Bush."
- Jerry Falwell (The New York Times July 16, 2004)
God is not a Republican.
Or a Democrat.
Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and others on the Religious Right claim that God has taken a side in this election, and that Christians should only vote for George W. Bush. The Bush-Cheney campaign even told volunteers it was their "duty" to make church directories available to the campaign.
How has the love of Jesus, the Prince of Peace - and his good news to the poor - been distorted by the pro-war, pro-rich political agenda of the Religious Right? Our faith has been hijacked, and it's time to take it back!
