Breach of faith, Breach of conscience
As an evangelical minister, I cannot understand the disconnect among my fellow evangelicals. So many are rabidly anti-Democrat because of issues such as abortion and homosexuality but do not have any problem supporting the Iraq war which has been more than proven to be both unnecessary and unjust. It is true that power is seductive and those leading ministers on the far right are willing to overlook some sins in an effort to maintain their positions at the head table. Jesus had much to say about those who rush to take the best seats in the house. Christian conscience demands consistency of belief and action. Pro-life must include the already born as well as the unborn. Preemptive war is not pro-life. Torture is not pro-life. To see a truly Christian perspective, search out Jim Wallis and his Sojourners website. Mr. Kuo would do well to align with him.
