I am very much a conservative, but I certainly do not identify with the so-called \"religious right\", because if the \"religious right\" was doing its job in the pulpits of America, they would not have to resort to political means to achieve their ends. For example, if they were really doing their job, abortion in the US would quickly come to and end, because the way to actually end it is to change the minds of regular people, not politicians. Then the people would demand its end by voting for those people who are against it, petitioning their elected officials and judges, etc. Heaven forbid I should agree with Jesse Jackson, but I heard him speak a few years ago and asked him what the church\'s role should be in setting America straight, and I mentioned what I said above. He said that he was tired of what he called \"cheap grace\"--the preacher caring about what you put in the collection plate but not caring about what you do in your personal life. And I agree with him.
