CAL THOMAS AND THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT

While I tend to have a conservative point of view, I've been really offended and shocked by some of the things that Cal Thomas has written. I can remember certain times that I've read his column and thought, "Man, this guy must hate... [Democrats, Liberals, Blacks, Arabs, insert whatever group you can come up with] ." However, today I read an article that I found very impressive. It is the most realistic description of the religious right that I have ever read. It is too bad that the outlook is pretty bleak.

To paraphrase a verse familiar to most Christians, what shall it profit a man if
he gains the White House, but loses his own soul?


Christians are also fond of saying God never closes one door without opening another door. The "door" of the Center for Reclaiming America has closed. The new doors can produce a more effective politics, if what's on the other side is based on a message that has less to do with partisanship and more to do with the One who transcends all politics and Who lends His power only to those who will use it as He instructed.
