Well, having been dumped yesterday, today will be a test to see if I'm too Christian or sumthin for further postings. I put this comment up under Huck's new piece about tax reform:

I commend you, Gov. Huckabee, for your many liberating ideas and policy proposals, including reforming the tax codes in such a revolutionary way. I myself look to the Gospel where Christ carried not one penny of tribute coinage when asked by the Pharisees about paying taxes and had to ask for a coin to make his point. "And Jesus answering said unto them, Render unto Caesar those things that are Caesar’s, and unto G-d the things that are G-d’s." And Christ had not one penny of Caesar's.

Certainly, we need to see the Gospels applied in our laws consistent with the Lord's all enfolding love for his children. I urge you, Gov. Huckabee, to affirm the Christian faith as consistent with the American principles of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness by signing the Evangelical Declaration Against Torture. Who would Jesus torture after all? Are we not here on this earth to witness to his will?

Also on Rain's diary today is a link to sign a petition against torture and another link on the Torture News Boycott.

Jesus didn't ride no elephant!
