Once again I happened to be attending class when I was overcome by a few ignoramuses who were simply misguided and outright offensive in the comments they were making. The topic of discussion was the Christian Right. Recently the Christian Right has come under fire for their outspoken stance on gay rights, especially gay marriage, abortion and sex education.

The person presenting called them “fascists” because, as he claimed, “their goal is to impose their beliefs on others and force others to conform to their Christian dogma.”

Now, I will be the first to admit that the majority of the Christian Right is evangelical Christians who understand the Bible in a very literal fashion. But, like any religion, there are going to fundamentalists who will take written text to the extreme and begin contradicting their intentions with their actions.

Where I became angered was when these secular progressives in my class began throwing all Christians into a lump sum and condemning their beliefs! That is like saying that every Muslim is extremist and is a terrorist! I was completely and totally offended!

Their biggest problem was the fact that since the 1980s, the Christian Right in the United States has been mobilized and has become quite a powerful lobby in Washington that has slowed down the process of things like gay rights.

I find it pathetic that these liberal freedom fighters are so against the Christian Right because of their lobbying when the liberal democrats have been promoting their “green initiatives” and their ideological bullshit for years. When that fat ass Oprah came out and indorsed Barack Obama for office that wasn’t considered lobbying? Think of all the “empowered housewives” who watch Oprah that more than likely voted for Obama. They are also more than likely alcoholics because they can’t remember the last time their husband looked at them.

The point is, liberals lobby just as much as the Christian Right does. Politics is war and because the Christian Right back their political claims by religious means doesn’t make them evil. For there are millions of Americans who may not be Christian that don’t believe in abortion or gay rights. SO, next time you meet some secular progressive who tries to lecture you on religion, tell them they should eat shit because there is only so much an atheist can learn from a text book!
