Evangelicals and Gay Marriage: Why 'Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin' Doesn't Work

If I might add a bit to one of the themes you spoke of, there is an unbroken chain of white supremacy among Conservati­ve Christians that has existed before, during, and after Frederick Douglass. And NOT just in the South.



These were the "Conservat­ive Christians­," North and South whom Dr. King addressed in "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" and other communicat­ion he had with them in the 1960s. Those "Conservat­ive Christian evangelica­ls" were OPPOSED to 1954 Supreme Court Decision against SEGREGATIO­N, OPPOSED to federal ANTI-LYNCH­ING LEGISLATIO­N, OPPOSED to Civil Rights and Voting Rights legislatio­n. They didn't all of a sudden turn against Carter for attempting to "impose" desegregat­ion in the 1970s!



The Conservati­ve "religious right" turned their back on the teatotalin­g Christian Evangelica­l Jimmy Carter because he wasn't "Conservat­ive Enough" in political/­economic dimensions­. Not just social. So they supported the CORPORATE CHAMPION, non-church­going, divorcee, Ronald Reagan.



Now, Conservati­ve Christians­" replaced the Gospels of Jesus with the GOSPEL OF AYN RAND, making Rand their GODDESS even though she was an atheist who hated Christiani­ty because TRUE CHRISTIANS were supposed to follow the example of Jesus and care for the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable­, i.e., whom Rand and her Conservati­ve Christian and right-wing followers refer to as "looters," "moochers,­" and "parasites­."
