33. Not just the moneychangers

The only other people he showed contempt for were the Pharisees and Sadducees--the religious leaders of the day. He likened them to white-washed tombs, all holy on the outside but death and corruption on the inside.

I was just thinking today that Bush has turned our White House into one of those white-washed tombs.

As a Christian who believes in the teachings of Christ, this has become personal for me so I understand Maestro's feelings. These people are taking my belief and bastardizing it into something that I don't recognize as Christianity. Probably because it's not.

I stood on the corner this morning during our war protest with a sign that read "Faith does not exist without free will." In Tulsa, with it's population heavy with the right wing religious, that should mean something to people and make them think.

Garrison Keillor is giving fundies a hard time on PHC tonight.
