In the above piece, Mr Margolis comes up with some amusing insights on the cartoonish Republican party. But when he lumped creationists in with all of them, I couldn't help but fire off a little bit of talk back. Here is my email to him:
Dear Mr Margolis,
I hate to break it to ya, but if you're trying to do the libertarian movement some good PR, you're failing.
I was reading your latest Prohibitionist rant with great interest. Because I too have share many of the same
sentiments as yourself about all of this.
But I'm a christian. And yet I can spot all of those zion*sts evangelical types that you mention and know that I am not one of them and that they while quite large a group, do not represent all of the religious people in this country.
Many deny the necessity of baptism that is clearly lined out in the new testament scriptures. They have reduced
the bible teachings down to a caricature.
And lumping all of us creationists in with the low IQ republicans did nothing but divide divide divide. As far as that goes, the earth was not created ten thousand years ago. It was more like six thousand years ago.
Lastly, there are many of us that on one hand don't deny the reality of Adam and Eve and see that there is vast evidence for a world wide flood, yet we understand that Christ is not coming back to a recreated Israel. He already came back in judgment upon Jerusalem in AD 70 and reigns today within the hearts of the faithful saints on earth.
sincerely,
Perry Pierce
