Sing it, bruthuh!

Politics.

My friend Michael got a wonderful editorial published in the Boston Globe railing at evangelical christians...

THE PORTRAIT of the Wilkersons (''For family, religion shapes politics," Page A1, March 29) is an appalling study in the hypocrisy that has subsumed modern Evangelical Christianity. Michael Wilkerson is quite happy to wave First Corinthians 6:9-11 around to justify his bias against gays. For the Wilkersons, who rake in $120,000 a year and own a BMW, I have the words of Jesus, as written in Mark, 10:25. ''It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

Definately take a few moments to entire commentary.

Well, it's a letter to the editor, not an editorial, but yeah - that's well-put.

I've been seeing a lot more progressive christian response to right-wing fundie stuff lately. It's about time.
