Nicely Said

Another failure for Jesus speakers…

Coming from a deeply religious family, I fully understand the words of Rabbi Marc Howard Wilson regarding the Abu Ghraib guards, at least those who are being prosecuted.

"I cannot tell you much more about their upbringing, but I can tell you this: If, as friends and family are saying, the Abu Ghraib guards were a bunch of “good, churchgoing kids,” the pulpit betrayed them. Strive though it may, the pulpit will never have the influence to prevent every incident of promiscuity, shoplifting and getting crazy at college. But, it has flunked every test known to humanity if “good churchgoing kids” have not internalized the message that forcing captives at gunpoint to perform fellatio while mugging for the camera makes you a barbarian who has mortally desecrated every word of God’s teaching."

Amen.
