God made me screw up

In my last post,below, I intended to post three articles, not two. The opening of third piece, also about how Christianity intersects with the political realm, will not be unfamiliar to those who frequent this space with some regularity. I originally quoted an excerpt from it, here. At that time, an excerpt was all that was available. The whole thing is now at the call of your web-browser. "The Christian Paradox", by Bill McKibbon, published in Harper's. It goes well beyond the original excerpt, and the extra length is just more of a good thing. The three articles -- those posted yesterday, and this one -- make a good lunch hour. But I warn you: You'll want to talk with someone about them after reading them.
