Dear Editor: Christians such as Gov. Scott Walker have prayer breakfasts before they dish out policies that hurt people who are most vulnerable. The Christians in the military hold prayer sessions and then discriminate against soldiers who are of other faiths or no faith at all.

The word “Christian” has taken on a bad connotation. To me it means those people who would turn our country into a theocracy instead of a democracy. The Constitution of the United States strictly forbids a religion-based government but it also allows complete freedom of any religion. Does anyone on the Christian team remember that?

This is the not the first time in history that forces of evil outside of the genuine Christian religion, which is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, have infiltrated and twisted Jesus’ message. But this the first time, that I am aware, these forces have twisted Jesus into a fat-cat capitalist who believes the rich getting richer will benefit the poor.

This brand of Christianity is dangerous and must be upended.
