On the Religious Right
RECEIVED Mon., Nov. 8, 2004
Dear Editor,
It really confuses me to listen to the religious right vaunting over the election as if it was a moral victory. They won because they ostensibly got more votes, and that’s all. They should consult their well-worn DVDs of The Passion and note that the majority is what sent Jesus to the cross. So, you right-wing Christians are no more and no less right today than you were before the election, and if your churches can’t keep their noses out of government, they should pay taxes like Americans do.
