Teabagging libertarianism and Christianity don't mix

Hey you Tea Partiers and libertarians, what's more important, your politics or your God? Because your God doesn't like your politics. He said so. (Oops, wrong Jesus.) So you can have one or the other.

Wrote Gushee: "[Christian traditions] understand that we were made by our Creator not just to claim rights for ourselves but to serve one another, and that a society governed by raw libertarian individualism cannot be the best we can do. Today's libertarian resurgence is at best an uneasy fit with Christian principles."
