Stephen Colbert:
What is your heartfelt handout to people who want to use religion as a tool of political power?
Well, for fifty years the religious right, a political movement — that is a perfect description for it — they convince a lot of our fellow Christians that the most important issues were abortion and gay marriage. Two issues that aren’t mentioned in the bible, two issues that Jesus never talked about. Jesus in Matthew 25 tells us exactly how you and I and every one of our fellow believers, how we’re going to be judged and how we’re going to be saved, by feeding the hungry, by healing the sick, by welcoming the stranger. Nothing about going to church, nothing about voting Republican. It was all about how you treat other people…applause…I’ve said before, don’t tell me what you believe, show me how you treat other people and I’ll tell you what you believe.
