By now we have all heard about the baby that got flash-banged by SWAT (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?452988-SWAT-drops-Flash-grenade-in-toddler-play-pen-Sheriff-blames-quot-domestic-terrorist-quot), and then the justification (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?452988-SWAT-drops-Flash-grenade-in-toddler-play-pen-Sheriff-blames-quot-domestic-terrorist-quot&p=5556065&viewfull=1#post5556065) that has been drawn up by the Christian Right counselling those who believe they are torn up by doing the 'right' thing:

Luke 17:2 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+17%3A2&version=KJV)
King James Version (KJV)
2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones
King James Version (http://www.biblegateway.com/versions/King-James-Version-KJV-Bible/) (KJV)

"Pastors" without moral accountability, only in favor of moral enforcement against a people. This behavior is ungodly and just calling such persons "Christians" is a kind of blasphemy in and of itself.
I think we can ALL agree, Christian, Atheist, and Other, that both the people who did this AND the people who justify it are utterly wicked.
So without getting into a religious debate, and posted to GP on purpose; the bottom line is that we have a political problem. One that belongs in 'general' politics. Which is why I hope we can ALL agree that everyone connected to this horror is wicked and not turn this into a religious debate, but rather discuss the political ramifications and strategies to employ against a powerful Christian Right lobby that would excuse, justify, and encourage the actions of a government that inevitably leads to the injury, maiming, and death of innocent men, women, and children.
This political lobby, the so-called "Christian Right" has an absurd amount of influence in politics, and they wrongfully claim the moral high ground. (Anybody who can justify the injury, maiming, or death of innocents in the name of a $50 controlled and set-up drug buy is not in Christ regardless of the Name they attempt to lay claim upon.)
So we, who are by far set with a far more Christ-like standard of morality than they can even conceive, need to re-gain the moral high ground, and wrest this influence from their pharisaical desperately clutching anti-Christian hands.
Demonstrate clearly that they are out of accord with the standards that Christ Himself has set, how the behaviors they advocate do extreme violence to the actual principles of Christ. How a people who boo the Golden Rule can in no way, shape or form walk with the Christian God.
Evict them from their alleged sole claim on Christ, for it is a ruse that has been put forth by Satan himself, to wrest control over American politics. Separate them from their claim on Christ by demonstrating it's absurdity, and re-gain the moral high ground by articulating actual Christ-like behavior, whether invoking the Name or not. Allow people to recognize the distinction on their own, and choose for themselves whether to actually behave like Christ, or to utterly oppose Him as the political 'christian right' are so wont to do.
The position of the political 'Christian Right' is not Christian, and those Christians who believe in it have been deceived. The strategic use of truthbombs in social media can work to separate them from the moral high ground, but to work the claim has to be against them specifically, and not against Christ nor against the wider body of Christianity.
And the bottom line is that I hate all of this. I am 1000% willing to share the moral high ground in the articulation of principle, as my last 7 years of political activity bears clear witness. But I have seen that a people who would justify infanticide for the greater Christian good, their entire claim on Christ is blasphemous. We should not be yoked with such heathen.
Separate the blasphemous and hypocritical 'political christian right' from their fraudulent claim to the monopoly of the moral high ground, separate them from the moral high ground altogether, and then take over the moral high ground yourself by righteously articulating the principles they have falsely claimed now for decades. This will, over the course of operation, erode their political influence and replace it with ours.
