Ron Reagan, as interviewed in the Times magazine:

[INTERVIEWER:] How do you account for all the glowing obituaries of [former President Reagan]?

[REAGAN:] I think it was a relief for Americans to look at pictures of something besides men on leashes. If you are going to call yourself a Christian—and I don't—then you have to ask yourself a fundamental question, and that is: Whom would Jesus torture? Whom would Jesus drag around on a dog's leash? How can Christians tolerate it?
It is unconscionable. It has put our young men and women who are over there, fighting a war that they should not have been asked to fight -- it has put them in greater danger.

(via the NY Times)

Good questions.

Of course, these are questions easily answered if the "Christian" right believes that anyone not just like them is going to Hell. What's wrong with creating a little hell on earth for unbelievers?

But the "Christian" right doesn't really think that. Right?
