I come back from a nice vacation and what greets me when I return to the blogosphere? Why of course, the right wing extremists in power are telling me that I’m against people of faith because I don’t want to see a bunch of right-wing ideologues put into the federal courts.
It gets pretty old to be repeatedly told by a group of folks which routinely seems to discard the 80 percent of the Bible with which they don’t agree (you know, all of those teachings about compassion and justice), and then distorts the 20 percent that they can tolerate so that it fits into their right-wing agenda that *I* am against “people of faith.”
But perhaps they’re right. I am against people whose faith is firmly placed in the policies of the Republican party alone. I am against people whose faith is in intolerance.
So they can have their “people of faith.” I’m going to follow Jesus, instead.
