Not only are most Americans cafeteria Christians, they are at worst ready to discard I think their core beliefs when faced with tough questions.
I was reminded about the gay marriage movement, where the Mormon church (come on really? they are as sane as scientology) spent tens of millions in California (where Mormons represent 1-3% of the state) to pass Prop 8.
The same church that said blacks were cursed and doomed to hell, that indians were a tribe of Israel (ruh roh, DNA proved it wrong)... Yet this is what we saw in California. Hate propoganda, lies, and ultimately playing on the fears of minorities (blacks/hispanics) that are more religious than the white american.
So my question to those pick/choose Christians in America is why do you ignore the slavery, ignore the women as property, the plethora of brutal things the bible's teach and then say OH but gay is wrong is the right part of the bible. These same people deny Shellfish is wrong to eat (not according to the bible) but are fully ok with denying human rights to gays in marriage.
Pick/Choose Christians, and in California they were able to pass Prop 8 with the religiosity of blacks and hispanics.
Very sad.
