Some militia totally pervert Christian ideals. The Christian Coalition uses military jargon to describe its political activities. They all believe God is on their side.
Why aren't people of faith thoroughly outraged when they hear a sacred text quoted to justify intolerance, hate and bigotry? Why aren't people who claim to honor God outraged when they see God and their sacred religion used as pawns by those seeking power, money and votes?
We at CPAV believe it's time for people of faith to take back their God. Take God back to your churches, temples, mosques and families, where he may reign supreme. Take him back before power seekers destroy the very thing that has allowed everyone's God to prosper.
