SECULAR RELIGIOUS/CULTURAL WARS

A pretty good reflection on the culture wars, that is, secular religious wars of our time. This craziness happens when you reduce the triune God to partisan politics-- left or right. It doesn't mean you can't fight for what is right, but with humility, awe and faith in the Cross before which we are all 'wrong.' MG+

"In a strict sense, I think, Sidney (Blumenthal) is a Democratic bigot. He doesn't simply differ with the political opposition. He loathes them and believes resisting them is a moral obligation. In this, he was pitted against Republican bigots in the Clinton era, and between them, the secular religious wars almost brought the country to a constitutional crisis.... Andrew Sullivan

Yes, this happens when politics takes the place of the living God.
