Religion and Politics
It occurred to me today, while pondering further some of the salvos being fired in the Health Care “debate”, that Jesus was crucified by a majority vote in a two-party system.

When Christians vote and win, they practically declare a Theocracy. When the “wrong” candidate wins, you’d think they were using us as torches in the Rose Garden. It seems like a most excellent distraction from the things we were told actually matter. ”I was hungry…I was thirsty…”
