Last night I saw a show on late night Evangelical TV. The title was "Reclaiming America for Christ". It boldly proclaimed that this was a Christian nation who has wandered away from Jesus and needed to be reclaimed. The usual host of suspects came flying onto the screen in bold scary letters.. The Homosexual Agenda, Evolution, Abortion and Teaching America's Christian Heritage. I blinked... "Reclaiming America?" Christians are in every position of power in this country. Nearly every politician in Washington claims to be a Christian. They have a majority opinion, and the rest of us have had to live by their rules for decades. I drive by hundreds of Christian churches in Tulsa on a daily basis. Most of our national holidays are their religious holidays. Heck, they even got their wingnut president whose favorite author is Jesus. But even in a position of such power they still act like repressed minorities? Maybe they should walk a few miles in a secularists shoes and see what it feels like to be truly marginalized. What next "Reclaiming America for Rich White Guys?" Oh... wait, that is what this is all about. |
