“Just last weekend, I was at my “Conservative Catholic” friends house.
The compassion that they have because of their religion is astounding. They are a family of four, living on one salary (a teacher’s salary at that) and are still able to support four children in other countries through a Compassion International-type program.
The compassion that they lack because of their political ideology is astounding. “Fuck them,” was basically their response to all that were left in New Orleans.
The disconnect between their political beliefs and their religious beliefs is just unfathomable to me … maybe I should ask them about torture.”
EMAIL OF THE DAY II: “In what way is it Christian to refrain from doing everything possible to protect our wives and children from murderers and terrorists? These guys have made it their life goal to kill the weakest and most innocent among us for no reason at all and you and the “Christianity and Torture” emailer are trying to make it seem unreasonable to take extraordinary steps to protect us. We are dealing with people who are worse than rabid animals, they are remorseless and insane fanatics who would destroy all we hold dear.”
