6 Sins of the Religious Right.

1.  The first sin of the Religious Right is to claim that everyone is condemned by God.

This Machiavellian manoeuvre puts everyone at the mercy of their priests and ministers and ensures that everyone is under their control.

2.  The second sin of the Religious Right is to claim that sex is a sin.

This merely places everyone in the power of the devil and guarantees their power to release them.

3.  The third sin of the Religious Right is to make gays and lesbians a scapegoat.

This of course ensures that all who obey them are pure and holy by default.

4.  The fourth sin of the Religious Right is to claim  that God hates sin and that hate is a Biblical imperative.

This hateful practice reinforces their persecution of gays and lesbians and insults our intelligence and insults God.

5.  The fifth sin of the Religious Right is their support for Capitalism.

By labeling godless Communism "The Evil Empire" they rebound philosophically to the opposite Capitalism.

But this is the worship of Mammon - money.

6.  The sixth sin of the Religious Right is to oppose social welfare and gun control.

Their hard-heartedness and violence is in direct contradiction of the teachings of Jesus Christ.

These sins have guaranteed that the Religious Right no longer has any credibility.
