(1) Either sided with war mongering politicians, because they wanted to add to the human slaughter of fascist politicians, their own very special murder in the name of God, genocidal hatreds.
(2.) Or, like the Catholic Church, they have played the ostrich game of "see no evil, hear no evil, and say no evil". Out of sight may be out of mind, but here's a reality flash for you wimp pastors and priests. Out of mind is not OUT OF LIFE. That too complicated for you? It's like death (April Fool!) you can repress it until the cows come home, but death is death and its looking each of directly in the eye our entire life. Doesn't make any difference if you look away; patient death will always have its hollow last laugh, and exactly the same thing is true for trying to repress away the Israeli/Palestinian insanity or trying to repress away the pack of lies that Cheney/Halliburton used to "preemptively" invade Iraq to steal its oil. Same thing in Afghanistan.
So why should we be surprised that America's Christian Churches are increasingly seen as institutions of cowardice and spiritual arrogance (at best) or literal servants of Lucifer (why not use their symbols?).
Anyone who (actively or passively) supported the Bush/Cheney treason and commitment to "conquer the planet" (which was the true goal of slime mold neocons and their tentacle "lobbies"), is also not only a traitor to the rags of what's left of our Constitutional Republic, but they are traitors to humanity itself.
And guess what, this obviously includes most American Christian Churches. Are there courageous exceptions? Of course, but like the 2004 Congress of Clinton/DLC right wing traitors (bought and paid for by AMERICAN BANKS), these patriotic exceptions merely proved the rule.
Indeed, "patriotism" is the bottom line here, because most genuinely patriotic Americans seem to see American Christianity for what it fundamentally is, i.e., a business institution of embarrassingly illiterate, mentally ill religious fanatics who have raised righteous hatred to a science.
Isn't this called give a fool enough rope and he will hang himself?
Well, that's exactly what the anti-American neocons did, but now we're seeing it again in this churchy institution many scientists are quietly predicting evolution with inevitably select out -- and not in the too distant future. Hey, in the big, biological picture of things, you've got to pay your way and "add" not "subtract" from a balanced and functional species.
