LINK: Tacitus has a good comment on HoDo's latest religion-related outrage:
"The candidate comes across as deeply insincere. The language used by Ungerer -- "neighbor" as signifying "fellow man" -- comes from the tenth chapter of the Gospel of Luke; it's doubtful that an educated person (and Dean certainly is one) would fail to recognize the allusion. Having made a public show of his Christian faith lately, the airy dismissal of the Biblical injunction about who is and is not your "neighbor" exposes that image as manufactured and false. If you're not familiar with it, the short version is that Jesus says everyone is your "neighbor" (although some act like it more than others); I can't think of a committed Christian that I know, left or right, who would deny this in any particular."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
