Thanks Bruce, you're right. American civic religion left or right are both just that of Worship in "Spirit and Truth". Its always better when political parties just stick to politics. Also glad.

It will be interesting to see what the Republicans come up with. George Bush has been pushing, as I recall, a relatively strong syncretistic message for eight years now. No, this is just the left's version of American Civic Religion. The right's version is just as caustic. This shouldn’t surprise anyone, should it?

The religion of the dems is Phariseeism dressed in new clothes! Truth is relative, after all, to such as these!!

If death and sacrifice is bad, surely they are willing to call these people Ogres, too. And likewise, if killing makes one an ogre, then anyone who allows abortion is an ogre, as well.

In other words, Christians are welcome as long as they simply believe that Jesus was a great teacher (perhaps allegorical) who advocated for large governmental programs to feed the poor and satisfy union leaders, and confiscatory taxes on those greedy rich to pay for the programs. Let me guess -- there was no criticism of other faiths featuring exclusive teachings, such as, just for example, Islam?
