e-church com.munity weblog: Conservatives Are Biblical?

e-church expresses disdain about something which irks me as well:



However, it is offensive to me (as liberal Christian) to think that some pundits assume the conservatives ought to be biblical. I am continually frustrated with the right co-opting evangelicalism/religoin for its own gain. I essentailly agree with Mr. Rummo’s arguement — I just think that O’Reiley demonstrates the mistake it is to presume the conservativism (or liberalism) is biblical.


Yes,  the reputaton of the term “Biblical” has suffered mightily because of conservative abuse.  I often wonder how the WWJD (What would Jesus do?) people are applying this to the , say,  the Iraq question (attack or diplomacy?)  ……My guess is, it never occurred to them to ask such a thing.   If confronted with it,  many seem to feel this is an unfair question.  It’s like asking the  question of what Jesus would do is to be unrealistic.  “This is the real world”.  I guess Jesus’ kind of “idealism” is just too simplistic,  unrealistic,  and blind.  Hmmm,,  and who’s not being “biblical”?
