Hate the religious right? Consider the religious right the source of hate?

While I do not have such a strong opinion, during the pinnacle of the religious right’s influence, I could not find anything in the Bible about giving judicial nominations an up or down vote or why God would smite Ariel Sharon with a stroke for dividing Israel’s land.

I actually happen to be a conservative and a Christian, but I consider the two parts neither to be equivalent nor mutually exclusive. I may have wanted an up or down vote for judges as a conservative, but I had no opinion of it as a Christian.

Certainly many reading this could cite more examples of the religious right overstepping their bounds. But is only the religious right or just religion capable of this?
