Does Harry Reid even understand what it means to be a Christian?

Harry Reid accused the Christian right of being anti-Christian but does he even understand what it means to be a Christian? When you look at what the men who are leading the Christian right have done you can't help but see that they are men who love God and want to serve him.

Falwell lead a huge congregation and a founded a university. And no one could fault D. James Kennedy for his love of the Lord and his call to evangelism. He lead a pretty big congregation for many years and was a wonderful servant of God. And Dobson has been very helpful to parents by getting information out about what's going on in public schools.

When you read their writings and see what they have accomplished you can't help but be struck by the fact that they have given their lives in service to God. To call men like these anti-Christian is to demonstrate a lack of understanding of what it looks like to follow Christ.

Reid also told reporters the Republican Party has been driven by evangelical Christians for 20 years. "They are the most anti-Christian people I can imagine, the people from the Christian far right."

Many LDS Church members turned to the Republican Party because the pro-life, traditional marriage platforms backed by evangelicals are similar to LDS Church positions. But, Reid said, his 25 years in Congress are proof that Mormons can be pro-life Democrats. He noted that American abortion law, in large part, has been settled by courts, not political parties, Congress or state legislatures.

Yes, voting for a pro-life Democrat makes a lot of sense. If it's settled law, then why even bother voting for a pro-life Democrat? What does it get you? And why vote for one who says things like this:

"I think people in the church have to understand there are issues more important than abortion and gay marriage."

Yea, that's a great pro-life position. Let's just take abortion off the table and move on to the more important things like global warming and health care. Let's just forget about those 40 million babies that have been killed. Let's just forget about those babies who were created by God and who bear his image.

Psalm 139:13 For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.

Bryan of Hot Air makes an excellent point about Reid's comments:

“…anti-Christian…” As in “against Christianity itself.” It doesn’t get much plainer than that. In Harry Reid’s world, “the people from the Christian far right” are more anti-Christian than the Communist government in China that persecutes Christians, the atheists who regularly smear Christians and the Muslim governments and jihadists who routinely murder Christians from Sudan to Pakistan.

I can's see why more Christians aren't drawn to the party of Harry Reid :-)
