Andrew Sullivan - Time for a War on Christianists?
I find it best to let so many attacks against Christians go right out the window. People have obviously had bad experiences with particular Christians or churches, and thus have pain that motivates their comments. But sometimes there needs to be a response.
Andrew Sullivan, who as I understand him is a Christian, gay, and a liberal, has decided to attack millions of American Christians (and at least on the issue of gay marriage, billions worldwide), because their faith motivates their voting patterns.

Now, I have many concerns regarding the Christian Right, even though I am both an Evangelical Christian and a political conservative. When Evangelicals merely accept any politician’s words and actions because of his label, that is danger (this is what has made African-American politics the sad joke it is today…the Democrats throw them a bone with words and then enact policies or defeat policies that would actually help them).
