As regular readers know, I consistently argue that the Gospel has political implications and that God has discernible intentions about the shape of our public life. Consequently, I take political endeavors very seriously and think that Christians should. However, it would be idolatry to elevate partisan political institutions to the point that we see our definitive hope in them.
Look at the mailing below sent out by the Religious Right. It is evidence that they seem to place more faith in the Republican Party than in God. Idolatry seems a good way to put it.
Arrogance as well. It appears they believe you cannot be anything other than a Republican and have family- ie., Christian- values.
