Entry: Morning Links Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/morning_links#22037 Post contents: Laurie J, I’m not a Christian, and, when the mood strikes me (not here), I’m happy to have a fierce debate with Christians about their theological beliefs. But I think I can safely say that most people here recognize the very real difference between Christians such as yourself and those bloodthirsty hypocrites who call themselves “Christians” but who seem to have forgotten everything Jesus taught. Your note brings to mind the Christians virtues of humility, peace, and love for humanity. And, in the context of this horribly pointless war, there are certainly many Christians, not only you, who have exhibited those virtues – e.g., Joe Sobran, Lew Rockwell, and, indeed, Benedict XVI. So, please, when any of us condemn the bloodthirsty “Christian” madmen who have created this nightmare, do realize that we are not condemning you or any of the other Christians who truly try to remember the authentic message of the Prince of Peace. No, it is not those truly motivated by Christ but rather those who are madly taking his name in vain who have created this catastrophe. And, even most of us who are not Christians really do understand this. All the best, Dave Miller in Sacramento Sent at: 2008 08 21
