I do feel discomfort here. I can see where you are coming from, in that there are those who seem to hold some horrid opinions and are attracted to these parties without consideration or empathy for others. However, and it’s a large however (for Bucks or anyone wanting to seize on my second sentence for evidence I am someone out to get them), I find it too judgemental. Surely it’s possible to see that those Christians who do can do so out of what they see as good intentions and they think this is the path to betterment for all. It is possible for someone to hold different opinions in good intent, but be mistaken or deluded (not delusional!).
Sure, there are some who may well be small minded and bigoted. Often the defenders against this position ignore many who are and pretend everyone is approaching their right wing stance in good intent. However, this is too broad and discounts many Christians who aren’t the jingoistic and bigoted types. In my opinion at least.
