Holy Rolling

Kevin of Lean Left, hit the nail on the head concerning the Bush administration's response to Kerry's use of biblical scripture to obliquely criticize the Bush administration's policies and actions.

Anyone who says their favorite political philosopher is Jesus Christ had best be prepared to defend his actions in the light of Jesus' teachings.

There's more.

For far too long, the right wing has gulled the media and the country into thinking that its religion was the only acceptable face of Christianity. It has used the respect for all religions on the left as evidence of the left's irreligiosity. That has never been the case. the teachings of Jesus Christ are at the core of how millions define their support for liberal causes, myself included. John Kerry, with one small statement, has reminded the nation of that fact. Millions of us are liberal because of our religion. Millions of us are not represented by Opus dei, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, James Dobson, or any of the other right wing talking heads the media turns to when it wants to "discuss" religion in this country. [emphasis mine]

I'm a non-christian, but can I still offer a hearty "amen"?
