I grew up in a Christian home, but a rather liberal one, I suppose. My father is a biochemist and my mother has a career and votes NDP/Liberal (democrats for you Americans), definitely not that American stereotype. We're Canadian anyways...
In Canada we get a lot of those American televangelist programs, we get American networks. Well, ignoring the crazed look in the televangelists eyes, I always noticed not only a hatred towards women and feminism, but a sort of worship of capitalism and a fear of socialism and communism (communism being an unrealistic ideal in Canada)
I'm not exactly the bible living Christian, but I've studied it because of my upbringing. From what I understand, heaven is actually communist. There are many versus and quotes from Jesus that support this argument. I never once followed a feminist hating capitalist argument from an American televangelist.
How does one support a right winged government and remain Christian? What's with the "Christian right"?
