Yeah, I guess I didn't do a very good job of explaining myself in this post. What I was trying to express (or at least, what I originally intended before I sat down and started writing) was that I know Christianity isn't to, er, "blame" for W's re-election. No, it's Diebold and Election Systems & Software. Wait, sidetracked. What I mean is, I was trying to express that my prior post was mainly venting and I chose to vent at a group that is related to the election outcome and who I already, admittedly, have a fairly low opinion of. Intellectually, I'm aware that this is a very complicated issue and Christianity, or even religion in general, is only a piece of the pie. Just to pick one example, Bush's skillfull use of the "war on terror" as a manipulative device has absolutely nothing to do with religion, but a lot to do with the election. I just didn't bring that up in this post because I spent a lot of the weekend thinking about the religious stuff I'd spouted off in my earlier post and that's where my mind was. Anyhow. I agree with what you said, if that's not clear.
