All debates with the
Christian Right are useless.
We cannot reach this movement.
It does not want a dialogue.
It cares nothing for rational
thought and discussion.
It is not mollified because
John Kerry prays or Jimmy
Carter teaches Sunday School.
These naive attempts to reach
out to a movement bent on our
destruction,
to prove to them that we too have "values,"
would be humorous if the stakes were not
so deadly.
They hate us.
They hate the liberal,
enlightened world formed
by the Constitution.
Our opinions do not count.
This movement will not stop
until we are ruled by Biblical Law,
an authoritarian church intrudes
in every aspect of our life,
women stay at home and rear children,
gays agree to be cured,
abortion is considered murder,
the press and the schools promote
"positive" Christian values,
the federal government is gutted,
war becomes our primary form of
communication with the rest of
the world and recalcitrant
non-believers see their flesh
eviscerated at the sound of
the Messiah's voice.
