“Jesus called us to love our neighbor, love our enemy, care for the poor, care for the outcast, and that’s really the moral core of where we think the nation ought to go,” Dr. Bob Edgar, General Secretary of the National Council of Churches told CBS News correspondent Russ Mitchell.
Love? Is that a message that will sell? I guess they’ll see.
“We are furious that the religious right has made Jesus into a Republican. That’s idolatry,” Campolo said. “To recreate Jesus in your own image rather than allowing yourself to be created in Jesus’ image is what’s wrong with politics.”
Ouch, Rev. Campolo. I’d give you an “Amen” but an endorsement from an atheist is probably not going to help you much.

Posted by: Judy at July 10, 2006 6:53 PMWell, excuse me very much, but I happen to know that Jesus *was* a Republican. Pat Robertson said so.
:D
If Robertson say it's so, then that raises serious doubts on my serious doubts. :)
Posted by: James at July 10, 2006 11:37 PMYa, major doubt that Christ was a Republican here, but no doubt at all that Satan would make a great televangelist. Or vice versa.
