It's time we in Churches of Christ stop pretending that George Bush is God's representative simply because Bill Clinton had moral flaws. In doing so we've decided that it's "righteous" to kill thousands of innocent non-American people so long as one remains maritally faithful. Just as the Repubs have preempted the religious right and used them for their own selfish purposes, we Christians have preempted Jesus for our selfish and nationalistic purposes. Walter Wink is right -- that's blasphemy. American Christians need to repent. Amen.
