Will the black nationalists and white lefties who pushed Obama up the political ladder in Chicago prove to be a liability to his White House run?

    This is an article worth reading on the mixing of politics and religion.

    In the early 80s while in Switzerland, I happened upon L'Abri which was founded and run by Francis Schaeffer, who along with J. Everett Koop wrote the infamous book "How Should We Then Live." This is an article by his son Frank Schaeffer, who, along with his mother Ruth Schaeffer tried to instill hell, fire and brimstone into me for a whole weekend.

    Needless to say, I cannot believe that Frank is now a saved man in the true sense of the word, from the acidic grip of christian fundamentalism.
