A Useful Insight
I always find it particularly curious when a self-identified born-again Christian seems so patently incapable of admitting being wrong, as forgiveness is such a significant part of Christian doctrine. When a Messiah has died for your sins, surely it indicates an expectation that you’ll commit some.
The post is specifically about the fact that it seems that the Bush administration and its supporters seem to refuse to admit ever being wrong. But I felt that this quote was particularly meaningful to just about everyone who falls under the umbrella term “Christian” (myself included).
It’s remarkable that those whose very articles of faith give them the most to gain by admitting their own faults have such a hard time doing so (myself included).
