So Sarah Palin is a "Christianist"
christianist (noun): one who advocates the reordering of society and government in accordance with fundamentalist Christian interpretations of the Bible.
Example of use: The distinction between Christian and Christianist echoes the distinction we make between Muslim and Islamist. from Britannica Blog
If we're to start preparing ourselves for four years of Vice-possibly-President Palin channeling divine plans for infrastructure projects and following Jesus into "war mode" against our enemies, we need clarification of just what the Christianist reordering of society will entail . . .
For example, Christianists often cite Leviticus for its condemnation of homosexuality, but gloss over the prohibition in Leviticus against tattoos:
"You shall not make ANY CUTTINGS IN YOUR FLESH for the dead, nor TATTOO ANY MARKS on you: I am the Lord" (Leviticus 19:28)
Yet when Sarah Palin was "testifying" at her Assemblies of God church recently, she stated with pride that her son Track had a Jesus tattoo on his leg. And now it's reported that Levi Johston has a (new) tattoo on his hand.
Are these tattoos not an abomination according to Sarah Palin's creed? Does she use her own judgment - gasp! - to interpret the bible for this day and age?
