Obama's Prayer Breakfast Truth Telling.

Brutality wears Christian garb just as comfortably as Muslim. Before we get too high and mighty, sure of our insulated distance from the despicable act of setting the Jordanian pilot on fire in a cage, we must remind ourselves that our own Southern back yard did that and more. The grandfather or great grandfather of the gal who owns the dress shop on the corner once pulled on a rope, dangling a man from a tree until dead, all in the name of Christ. Obama was right to point this out at the prayer breakfast. I recommend Karen Armstrong’s “Fields Of Blood, Religion and the History of Violence” for an overview of what we are capable of without missing a day of worship.
