Vaughn Thompson blogs an excerpt from Moby's journal where Moby muses over the USAmerican election last year and raises a set of issues and questions that, to be honest, I pretty much share, so I'm going to put 'em up here too. "the election was decided by the christian right, but how in the world are these people actually christians? i'm sorry, i don't mean to judge, but i've read the gospels quite a few times, and it seems pretty clear that 'christian values' are:
1-humility
2-non-judgementalism
3-caring for the poor
4-compassion
5-love
6-serving god
don't get me wrong, i'm not presenting myself as a virtuous, upstanding christian. i'm just saying that it outrages and baffles me that so many millions of americans call themselves christians but yet have belief systems that are seemingly antithetical to the teachings of christ."
Thanks Vaughn.
