Subject: RE: BS: Jimmy Carter editorial in Wash Post
Well, GUEST, I didn't say this was about "religion". My point was about how a real Christain, as opposed to these intolerant fundamentalists, could make such tolerant observations. I wasn't doing any Bible thumpin'...
I think since so many folks are trying to *frame* the US foriegn policy as a struggle between Christianity and Islam, it is indeed refreshing to here from a man who better exemplifies the teachings of Jesus, Jimmy Carter, who, IMO, has a world view that allows for differences of beliefs... That's what we need more of..
Very refreshing article. I read it twice in the Post.
And there's nothing wrong with being a Christian just so long that one strives to live out its principles of love, forgiveness and tolerance...
