I'm not a Christian, but I have several friends who are part of what I call the Christian Left: progressive, tolerant, open-minded people who live their faith rather than doing what Pat Robertson, Ralph Reed and these other scoundrels do: mouth piety while quietly committing the very acts they rail against. And as my of my very good Christian friends, who I respect deeply, said when I asked him how it feels to be tarred with the same brush as these criminals, said, "They are not Christians. Being a Christian means acting as Jesus did, not saying one thing and doing another. These people are a disgrace to the faith, and they shame the rest of us with their vile hypocrisy."
What more needs to be said, except when are is the flock of the Christian Right going to wake up and decide that deeds are more important than words?
