Are we going to move to the next stage of this discussion, where you retract your statement that denies religion is influencing gov't or where you simply respond with "well, my opinion is different" - or are we just going to continue repeating ourselves?

If your homosexual and want a civil union, you're being squeezed by the federal government. No paranoia about it. That one example should be enough, but it won't. How do you feel about the envornment? I hope you don't care for it. U.S. legislators backed by the Christian right are united and unswerving in their opposition to environmental protection. Why would that be? Why does the phantom CR not worry about the environment? Many Christian fundamentalists feel that concern for the future of our planet is irrelevant, because it has no future. They believe we are living in the End Time, when the son of God will return, the righteous will enter heaven, and sinners will be condemned to eternal hellfire. They may also believe, along with millions of other Christian fundamentalists, that environmental destruction is not only to be disregarded but actually welcomed -- even hastened -- as a sign of the coming Apocalypse. That is harmful legislation based on Christian fundamentalist beliefs.
There is a really good article about the CR and the environment at the Grist magazine website. Grist is an environmetal magazine.
Does that work as proof for you, or should I find more?

Unless you consider that in people 11 states and over 65% of them are part of this Christian Right theocracy, then yes, you need to find more.
Enviro protection?? Other than you saying it's so, please provide examples that the boogeymen are oppossed to protecting the enviroment AND how that ties into a Christian Right belief system.
Will, I don't expect you or anyone else to find concrete examples on this. I think the problem with y'all is that you assume that a GOPer=a member of the CR. It's like me assuming that all Dems believe in immoral behavior. Thus, the very thing that the liberals tend to hate (generalizations and stereotypes) ius the very thing that they become when it comes to conservatives.
