(147 posts)We've seen how the Mormons threw their weight around concerning Proposition 8 in California. There's been more mixing of politics and religion with the Right-wing parties, then in the past. I can envision seeing a candidate (religious leader), representing the Tea Party, running for President. I can also see the US, getting involved in a religious war. There seems to be a panicked, desperate shift by religious leaders, to imprint their beliefs onto the GOP and TP. Common sense, has evaporated. Threats of violence, racist and homophobic insults, and even redefining the text of the Constitution. All of this and more done to support their hatred, their intolerance, their need to basically create a Christian version of Shari'a law, among other things. It needs to be stopped. Unfortunately, the topic of religion seems to be a forbidden one, when it comes to the media.
