This bugs the ever-lovin' outta me.

Suddenly these particular Christians are the new holier-than-thou -- the "thou" now being the old "holy-rollers". Ironical. Comical.

The conclusion from these new morally upright ones is that, unless you arrive at the same conclusion regarding whether war is ever justifiable (not just Iraq), you are now "unconcerned" with the moral issue of war.

Furthermore, unless you address poverty in the manner prescribed by these new gnostics, you are equally "unconcerned" with poverty -- and thus immoral.

But if the termination of pregnancies resulting in the death of perfectly viable (late term) children bothers your sense of morality, then you are self-righteous.
