For My Misguided, Right Wing Christian Friends

I recommend this book to the far right wing Christians. The ones who are intolerant. The ones who side with the Pat Robertsons of the world in calling for the assassination of some world leaders. The ones who value the lives of those yet unborn more than the lives of those who have already taken their first breath. The ones who favor dropping bombs on the innocent and the invasion and occupation of other countries. The ones who favor the rich more than the middle class and the poor. The ones who hate. The ones who insist that everybody in the nation be like them. The ones who would lure immigrants with, “come on in, we know it’s against the law, but we’ll look the other way” for years, then turn around and wish to put them on freight trains back to their countries of origin. The ones who think themselves better than others. The ones who favor the death penalty. The ones who insist that their religion is somehow the only “true religion”. The ones who are in favor of merging companies, unionizing businesses and churches for strength, but disallow the same right to workers. The ones who have convinced the media that they are the only ones with “family values”. The ones who make a mockery of the word, “evangelical”. The ones who have so perverted and twisted the word “Christian” to the extent that Christians have become embarrassed to even claim their religion to others for fear of being labeled a nut. To those who boast the “Ten Commandments” and at the same time forget what Jesus said. The ones who have stripped the term, "born again" of its real meaning in the eyes of the media. The ones who think Jesus was a Republican.
I think you’ll like it.
