(15,109 posts)... various "Christian values" in their platform to help get Reagan elected.
Many of them are fascist in their Christian beliefs too, especially the evangelicals who are regularly taught to CONVERT more followers.
Hence a "live and let live" attitude isn't really in their mindsets. Even when that's pointed out to them, they're more likely to proclaim themselves to be the victims of intolerance because they're not always given free reign to impose their religious beliefs on others. It's amazing mental gymnastics, like a bully who whines about policies that aren't allowing him to physically shake down others for money.
Several of them are anti-government solely because of the secular aspects of it. So the imbedded attempts of destroying it by Republicans is fine by them. Unless the government is pushing their Christian beliefs on everyone, it's pointless to them. They'll say things like God is their master, not a government organized by men. As if we could have it organized any other way! But somehow it's different in their minds as long as it's their charlatans, constantly referencing God, who do it.
