Even though there is no direct link between these two posts beyond them being published on the same day both are frightening and serve as examples of how dangerously foolish we can be as a nation.
The posts in question are:
"Survey: Religion a key factor in determining support for Obama vs. Romney"
Religion should play no role in selecting a president. The country is
far too diverse and religion far too contentious. The president is
suppose to represent all Americans and do what is best for all
Americans. Mixing religion into politics has never proved to be positive
and I find it hard to believe it ever will.
"Kirk Cameron's Growing Circle of Reconstructionist Friends"
That a fool like Cameron is gaining influence among any group is disturbing enough, it is even worse that he seems to getting more media attention. I have no doubt some will still view him as the cute guy who once played a mischievous but lovable character on Growing Pains. They may be willing to overlook some of the details of his new career out of misplaced sentimentality. This thin veneer isn't likely to get him all that far but it may be just enough to gain more attention and resources to do real damage.
Put these two together and I can't help but start feeling pessimistic about our future. Little things can make big differences. Every little step forward made by the religious right is a step back for all of us.
