The christian right, especially the evangelicals have done quite a number to intertwine their agenda into the republican politicians over the years to force their agenda on the masses.
While the christian/evangelical right and their supporters are strongly anti-marriage equality and anti-woman's rights to choose what they can do with their bodies, they are surprisingly silent on other christian values such as premarital sex is evil, contraceptives are strictly forbidden, and divorce is the worst of all.
This seems odd to me that the GOP politicians whom claim to be strong christians, aren't going after making contraceptives illegal, along with premarital sex, not to mention making divorce likely a felony offense, why is this?
Contraception, Divorce, and Pre-marital sex are not fund raising issues. Also, the vast majority of the RR practice contraception, divorce and pre-merital sex.
I never herad Mitt Romney speak out against..."soaking".

Your pathetically intellectually lazy assumption is that conservatives only oppose same-sex marriage and abortion because these practices are inconsistent with the Christian faith.
Most of the conservatives I know oppose same-sex marriage because it is a crime against nature, and they oppose abortion because life obviously begins at conception.
Some Roman Catholics and Protestants feel strongly about contraception, same-sex marriage and abortion and liberals are quick to jump on this objection by these religious individuals as representative of all social conservatives because it's easy to argue against having someone else's religion imposed on you, but it is much more difficult to oppose non-religious objections.
FTR, more women support restrictions on abortion than men and the people who favor abortion on demand for any reason are in fact a small minority.

Pre-marital sex, adultery and divorce are "holy" sacraments of the evangelical right. Some even like buttseks, many like BJs too. A few like playing with lil boys and girls but these are always fogiven b/c they simply make crap up as they go along.
They believe in talking snakes, donkeys, impossible physics and most of all magic.
I mean really what is there not to understand or like? A few hits on a bong or a downing a few shots will quickly make this all so crystal clear. There is that headache and munchies thing to contend with though

You're obviously not sitting in the right pews.

While I think they just don't get it on SSM, I understand that they believe that human life begins at conception and so there are two people involved and both are equal. I do not think their choice to believe in this manner has anything to do with restricting women's rights to their body. It isn't an issue of control it's one of preventing murder (in their eyes).
I think a more appropriate question is why do so many want to protect the unborn also believe in the death penalty especially with all of the overturns with DNA?
SSM is a boogey man. Abortion is a deeply held belief based on sanctity of life. That doesn't seem to jive up well with the death penalty.
Right-wing reactionaries wish for regression, not actual embodiment of religious dogma. They want others to obey their dictates, the result of their own picking and choosing, not necessarily the entirety of what their foundational doctrine actually calls for, since they themselves don't wish to be constrained by precepts other than those they themselves subscribe to - that encroachment is only to be applied to others.
If the left already has the answers to their questions about the right, why ask them?
