Daily Poll: Does the Christian Right Ignore Important Christian Values?

By , About.com GuideJune 5, 2006

Follow me on:

Perhaps the most important catch-phrase of the Christian Right is 'family values' and a significant amount of their political, social, and cultural agenda is predicated on the defense of 'family values.' One of the problems with this is that the Christian Right has a very narrow conception of what qualifies as a threat to 'family values.' It's almost all about sex, never money or materialism.

 

Daily Poll: Is the Christian Right ignoring important Christian values by ignoring problems connected to greed, materialism, and poverty?

  1. Definitely - there are reasons why those issues were emphasized in the past.
  2. Perhaps a little, but they aren't as important as gay marriage and pornography.
  3. No, it's more important to focus on the harms caused by homosexuality than poverty.
  4. I don't know.
  5. I don't care.
