Not All the Faithful are Republican Drones

"Since when was God pro-war, and pro-rich?"

The battle-cry of agnostics? No, it's the mantra of a mounting chorus of moderate evangelicals, led by such as Southern Baptist minister Jim Wallis.

"We can no longer stand by and watch people speak hatred, division, war and greed in the name of our faith," said Patrick Mrotek, founder of the new Christian Alliance for Progress. "We must reclaim our faith."

Whaaa? A progressive Christian movement in the face of the mullahs? There's enough stirring, apparently, to draw the hot-air of radio weenie Rush Limbaugh on April 27th: "The religious left in this country hates and despises the God of Christianity and Catholicism and whatever else. They despise it because they fear it and it's a threat, because that God has moral absolutes, that God has right and wrong, that God doesn't deal in nuance" (said the serially monogamous and drug-addicted Limbaugh, who apparently doesn't blush when speaking about moral absolutes, so long as they apply only to someone else).
