Many so-called Christians forget that our nation was not formed from old English law and the 10 Commandments but as a response to the failings of both of those sets of documents – as well as the failures of the contemporary Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Native American and every other form of government that had come before it and fallen disgraced into the dust of history.
These loudmouths preach retributive justice using the Old Testament as their excuse.
When they do they act in the same way that the crowd did when they condemned Christ to death – because these folks believe that they should preserve their version of the word of God and throw away from themselves God’s own son.
Retribution. We see it every day.
Senator Frist strikes out against his political opponents without thought of compromise or even respect for our American form of government.
Representative DeLay continues to make a mockery of the practice of ethics in the House of Representatives – and that is going a mighty far piece.
Billy Graham preaches that faith and not works is the way to get salvation and each day with each sermon he marches yet another army of souls into the gates of hell both on earth and off it.
War, starvation and disease are all around us. Our economy lies in wrack and ruin. Rich men like Bill Gates call our children stupid and George Bush travels around the country selling Social Security Snake Oil.
We need another response.
