Quote of the Day

MANIFESTO

He who says "I know [God]" but disobeys his commandments is a liar.
— 1 John 2:4a
This verse was included in one of the readings this morning at our church, and I couldn't help but think of the holy rollers who occupied the nation's executive branch between 2001 and 2008.

Given the fact that the whole torture issue becomes larger by the day, it's interesting to note that those who were certain they had a personal relationship with God were guilty of heinous crimes against humanity.

And, needless to say, the zealots are being defended by those who should know better. Hilzoy and Glenn Greenwald explore this phenomenon.
