Jesus "Prince of Peace" says No to War! Dobson Christians Froth at the Mouth in Surprise!

This post over at Digby made me sad but I didn't totally lose hope, especially after learning that the conference that Rabbi Lerner and Jim Wallis held last month was a huge hit. There are great religious and spiritual people on the left. People who don't just talk about how they are saved, but act on their belief in the things that Jesus says. Things like, blessed are the peacemakers and love thy neighbor. People who don't call themselves a Christian one moment and then talk about turning Iraq into a Glass Parking lot in the next.

That the Christians have been co-opted by the Republican's is something that frankly should stop. Hopefully a growing respect for the authentic teachings of Jesus, not the rantings of James Dobson, Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell will come to pass.

Again, cCheck out this post on Digby and then read the comments, some EXCELLENT thoughts there.
