This book clearly documents how certain factions within organized religion have perverted the teachings of Jesus, and used the lunatic fringe of the Republican Party to mesmerize, sedate, and captivate The Contemporary American Gestalt.
McElvaine calls this the "Easy Jesus" creed, since all you have to say is that you 'Believe', and no difficult actions or behavior changes are expected of you. What you say, trumps what you do. Or, once you are Saved, you can do any damned thing that you please.
'ChristianityLite' has completely changed the Truth, and now what passes for the teachings of Christ are exactly the opposite.
"America is simultaneously the most professedly Christian of the developed nations, and the least Christian in its behavior". Amen To that!
I would hope that sensible Christian believers everywhere have been waiting for someone to wrest The Prince of Peace away from those who believe that God supports War, Tax Cuts For The Rich, that The Poor have brought their plight upon themselves. and Torture is always viable if the conditions are right.
