Why is it that the conservative branches of the Christian church are so often behind the times, regressive rather than progressive? Conservatives tend to be against equal rights for women, disinterested in environmental protections (until recently), weren't involved in the Civil Rights movement, and are staunchly against gay and lesbian rights.
They work hard to defeat legislation giving homosexuals a fair shake, spending millions of dollars in voting campaigns, while supporting a "Christian" president who has authorized killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who had nothing to do with 9-11. This same religious president ignored the Geneva Convention, allowing blatant torture of war prisoners. "Do unto others as you would have others do to you." Mr. Bush doesn't apply Jesus' teaching to his war policies.
