Heartless zealotry, whether from the religious right or from the teachers' union on the left, is always troubling.

I don't think McCain does that. He is only lightly attracted to the religious right, or not attracted, if you watch his shifting position on gay marriage.

Christ has no body now on earth but yours,
no hands but yours,
no feet but yours,
Yours are the eyes through which to look out
Christ's compassion to the world
Yours are the feet with which he is to go about
doing good;
Yours are the hands with which he is to bless men now.

I have the right to object. We are more than pill counters or robots. We have religious and professional beliefs.

I think the moral majority and religious right have been shrinking and having not quite as loud a voice in America, and all of a sudden people are coming to their own realizations going, 'Joe down the street is gay and he's a great guy.'

continuation of me striving to be right spiritually. The assumption is that a person who does Christian music is automatically connected (to God). That's so untrue ... I hope this music is a reflection of the connection I have. I'm very proud to be a Christian.
