The following is a statement made by an evangelical Christian on a political board that I frequent.

See if it doesn't make your blood run cold as it did mine:

It is your opinion that God has no place in the politics of our nation. That is wishful thinking on your part. The simple fact of the matter is that when so many believe He exists, and most of those believe in Him as the Bible presents Him, then you have a problem because He is going to enter into policy whether you like it or not.

I'm not telling you what I believe SHOULD happen, but rather sharing a simple logical conclusion of what has happened, is happening, and will continue to happen. You are free to rebel against it, but you're fighting the mother of all uphill battles. Accept the fact or not...it won't change the fact that the majority of people in this country don't like a minorty telling them that their religion can't be expressed in the public policy arena, and that with the power of the majority, such as it is given in this country, will exercise the same to keep God in the public policy arena.

Notice he claims that he isn't saying he believes it "should" happen, but he makes no bones about the fact that he think it WILL happen.

They're gaining power, they know it, and I am not ashamed to admit that I am more afraid than I can say. I have nowhere to run if this country turns into a theocratic state as it looks like it's heading toward. But I'll tell you what, I refuse to live under a Christo-Fascist regime. If that means my life, so be it. But I'll send some of them home to see their God as well.

I can't even believe I'm seeing this. I never thought America would threaten to become a Christian Saudi Arabia. What the hell has happened to us??
