Bigmoney. I didn't read caltours post the way you did. But I won't speak for him. No group should be denied 'access to democracy'. We all know however that big money, fair or not, (I say not) whether its from the right or the left, gets you more access to democracy than those without money. To me he simply sounds troubled by the fact that certain evangelical groups with tons of money have a lot of power and influence on the current administration. And on our government as a whole over the past years.
Caltour. While I share the implied sentiment that money should not get you a disproportionate amount of influence over those without money, I don't think red flags should be raised only when its coming from a group in whom we don't share the same beliefs. I do have a problem though with whoever gets the kind of priviledged access that only big money can buy. Its not fair. Government should be about what's in the best interests of all the people as a whole. Not just for the well financed.
As far as some of these megachurches go. We could argue the same things about their beliefs and agendas as we are about these christian exodus people. Not to say that the megachurches are whack jobs or anythig to that extreme, but the real issue there IMO is whether or not they are being true to God's word and the Bible. That's another thread. Which would get locked before it gets to be over 3 pages long, if that. /Rant over.
