The day the Supreme Court rules (should they do so) that it is permissible to display the Ten Commandments on government property is the day that I start lobbying that we put the beattitudes up in the U.S. Capitol:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
I suspect that the Right would be a bit less enthusiatic about this display, however. Mercy? Peacemaking? That’s not what Supply Side Jesus teaches us!
