It continues to be a dissapointment to me when certain Christian leaders from the Religious Right feel it neccesary to go on the attack, either with an issue or towards a candidate/politician, ina way that makes all believers look bad. Dr. James Dobson, of Focus on the Family Action, and his senior vice president of government and public policy, Tom Minnery have jumped in again to do just this. Tuesday on his radio show Dobson and Minnery spent much time attacking Barack Obama's faith, and accusing him of purposefully misleading others about Christianity and the Bible. It is no surprise that I am not a part of the religious right in this country, but I know many who are and are loving, caring, and grace filled people. Not all right leaning Christians are represented by these leaders who choose to do these things. Jim Wallis has a good response on the Sojourners Website. Read it Here.

It seems that this country's most influential religious leaders' voices almost always reach maximum volume when speaking out of some sort of prejudice or judgment, generally speaking....seems kinda weird to me.
