Good News!

Self-serving, self-righteous, self-proclaimed "christian" (the lower case "c" is deliberate) leaders like Mike Huckabee and James Dobson are pulling the oldest scam in the good book. They are pedaling idolatry just as those who crafted the golden calf did when Moses went mountain climbing.

They and their followers eagerly tell anyone gullible enough to listen that their god (also deliberate lower case) is more powerful than yours. And they contend that the Bible gives them the authority to justify and promote racism, homophobia, war, and torture.

Even more astonishing is the fact that they spread their message of hatred and fear of "the other" while claiming to follow the teachings of an itinerant carpenter, who condemned nobody but instead told sinners that their sins were forgiven - unconditionally.

Then, of course, they ask for money to further the cause of "christian love."

This week Huckabee and Dobson said that those who died in Newtown, Connecticut brought it on themselves by pissing off God.

For the good of our nation these men need to be called out as the hypocrites they are whenever they open their hatred-spewing mouths.

Thank you, Pastor John Pavlovitz for doing just that in your December 18 message:

Mike Huckabee, James Dobson, and A Pastor’s Apology.

I am a Christian. I am a pastor. I am a father. As all three of these things, I apologize to the world (and to the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting), for Mike Huckabee and James Dobson. This week...
