The Shining Light Of Christianity (#2)
With this state's constitutional amendment election on Tuesday, and with the anniversary of Luther's Reformation one week behind us, it's a shame how some so-called Christians are making a mockery of their own religion.
As reported by the Austin American-Statesman:
Ten men and four women calling themselves members of the American White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan gathered at City Hall plaza Saturday for a brief and hugely contested rally against gay marriage.
The group came to Austin from their home in San Angelo, Texas. According to their hometown newspaper, the group's existence is a surprise to many in that community.
Before anyone of the Christian faith gets too self-righteous about why the Klan was in Austin yesterday, consider what the group's leader said. ''We're asking Texans to support Proposition 2 because God supports it.
That's the same kind of language the conservative Republican authors and supporters of Proposition 2 use at their own rallies. Like it or not, many who call themselves Christians are in the same boat as a group who is anything but Christ-like.
