A couple of years ago I took exception to an e-mail blast from the Concerned Women for America. The group was angry that Democrats were blocking certain judges put up for the federal bench by President Bush. It called on Americans to fight Democrats who wanted to keep Christians off the bench.

So I called and sent an e-mail asking, "So, where were you when President Clinton appointed Christian judges to the bench? Were they truly behind Christian judges, or Republican Christian judges?

While many of the judges nominated by Clinton may have been, or claimed to be, Christians, I seriously doubt of them were ever opposed by Republicans because they were Christians.

The controversy to which he refers is with regard to judges nominated by Bush who were opposed because Senators found their Christian beliefs "troubling" or "out of the mainstream."

If he dpesn't understand the difference, I don't know how to explain it to him.

I was thinking the same thing when I read that. He obviously looks at externals to define Christianity, which proves that he himself is only an external Christian, looking at fleshly priorities like Judas whining "this ointment might have better been sold and the money given to the poor!"
