Porn Stars, Playmates, and Christian Politics

[Crossless2.0]

The difference is evangelicals are not an ordinary special interest group whose interest and agenda exists largely independent of public perception.  Evangelical movement is a cult that gains through the number of followers.   It shoots itself in the foot when it tied itself to a party with moribund demographics while comporting itself in such manner as to make itself disgusting and contemptible to any others.

In other words, keep up the good work, folks.

Yes, that's correct.

I wonder, though, how many of these other groups have spent the past four decades insisting that they have a corner on morality and public decency. Chad's point is true and somewhat irrelevant, since the post he responded to concerned the Christian Right's hypocrisy and willingness to cast aside their alleged principles for the sake of power.

A lot of social justice type groups are like that. They go out and protest, and write books, and tell those who disagree with them that they're wrong and bad, etc. I used to be Facebook friends with a liberal atheist woman who was always posting preachy shit on her Facebook and condemning those who she didn't feel were doing things right or whatever. It doesn't have to be a religious group. 

Fair enough.
