WORLDmag.com | The Frank Schaeffer mystery | Marvin Olasky: In a recent blog post, Frank Schaeffer argues that Chuck Colson and Richard John Neuhaus fronted for “oppressive ideas rooted in an anti-constitutional theocratic far right wish list for changes that were supposed to roll back the parts of the democratic processes—say Roe v. Wade, women’s rights and gay rights—that far right Catholics and Protestants didn’t approve of.”
Editor: Never mind, as Olasky says, there was nothing democratic about Roe. If you read the blog post, you'll see the reason for his rant. He says he's long ago given up his old "evangelical shtick" and responds to a commenter, asking, "Do you mean that God and what the Bible 'says' about God are one and the same? The Bible is a book filled with good things and lots of nonsense too. God -- if there is one -- is the creator of everything you see in the Hubble plus more. What some collection of Bronze Age mythology says and what is really out there (and in us) isn't the same thing. Don't blame the creator for religion or religious books." Wow.
