Is Bush The Antichrist?......Well, No.

I have decided to devote a large portion of my blog to decrying "The Religious Right". After spending a large portion of the past week educating myself on some recent history, I have found that, damn, I am more left than I thought. That, and I've been listening to David Cross, visiting The BM Rant, and just googling news article after news article--all that basically each time I sit down at my computer this week.

Let's get a few things straight. Despite my disdain for the Religious Right movement, I am not what some would call a "godless atheist". In fact, I am a Christian. Additionally, I am not what some would call a "socialist, commie, pinko, hippie". I am simply an advocate of the Christian Left. To be perfectly honest, I'm pretty moderate, but I'm gradually moving left. And I simply cannot remain passive any longer.

Additionally, I have begun to notice that some of my favorite people in history were liberals. Many of my least favorite people were conservative. I don't count that as coincidence. Some of my favorite authors and such are even supporters of the Christian Left. And you can be sure that the Christian Left has a relatively small market share of Christians as a whole. Well, at least in the Western Hemisphere. Maybe I'd feel more at home in Europe where Christians tend to be more liberal.

To kick things off (the decrying that is), I would like to draw attention to an article that is freakin' great. Of course, there are some really awful things about the article. First of all, it comes from the Seattle Weekly. This is bound to be some incredible journalism right here. Second of all, the article has a terrible title. It's called, "Is Bush The Antichrist?" Ugh. Anyway, check it out. I'll let it speak for me today.
