Danger In The Heartland
Please read the link to an ABC News story if you are as repulsed as I am, or, even if you are not, please send comments. Any politicization of ideology is deadly and far beyond the outskirts of danger. People like Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly, those who think in simplistic arguments, often employing false choices rather than genuine and generous attempts at reconciliation, no doubt - to be sure - support this "Jesus Camp." If only this camp were such. Islam is a deadly religion, one enormously political at heart, but there are Muslims who understand and practice their faith with what one could call universal human values. This camp is a cancer on North Dakota, a cancer on the essence of Christianity, and an invective in the face of Christ Himself. Shame on its proprietors.

This is a danger. And yet.
And yet, the danger is not Christianity per se, nor Jesus Camps in general. It is this camp. This woman. This particular strain.
But I know what you mean. Mark Steyn has a great line that goes, "If you mix a half quart of dog shit and a half quart of ice cream, it's safe to say that it will taste a lot more like the former than the latter."
And so it goes with ideologies.
