If you feel offended by Bishop Budde’s plea for compassion and mercy, then you are many things, but “Christian” is not one of them.
@Strandjunker I was delighted by what she said but I don't know what a "Christian" is. I don't even know what a "bishop" is. What I saw was a brave woman challenging a criminal. That's about it. Good for her.
@Strandjunker So our last trench of humanity is once again faith. What a modernity we have built.
@sezamoracl @Strandjunker I'd say being a good person to the bitter end is the last trench. I don't think ones religious background or lack thereof really matters. There is much more common ground than there are differences.
@Strandjunker or even broader... a decent human being.
@Strandjunker Also not a decent human being either.
@Strandjunker Or alternately: you are Christian, but you're just affirming all those people who say Christianity is evil.
