Entry: The Limits of Lincoln Bashing Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_limits_of_lincoln_bashing#24310 Post contents: To D Greene: I am curious to know where (other than in mere opinion) it has been demonstrated that Lincoln did NOT hold to the tenets of the Apostles Creed. Furthermore, if Guelzo is a little beyond you, I suggest you read Kierkegaard on the basic inscrutable nature of any person's faith. Lip service to the Apostles' Creed does not mean a person is authentically a Christian. I am sure you are familiar with the existence of pharisees. That aside, I think it's a bit tedious and frankly anachronistic to be arguing over the sincerity of this man's faith when it is clear that he agonized -in a very Christian manner - over the choices he had to make with the lives of those under his charge. Your questioning of his faith only helps the Straussian cause. And I think, by now, that's boring. Sent at: 2008 07 06
