"We clearly live in an era of evangelical American barbarity."

My vote for "Blog Most Deserving of a Wider Audience" this year will certainly go to Mainstream Baptist's Dr. Bruce Prescott. Oh, that more evangelicals could hear his voice on behalf of true Christianity!

The Bush administration pledged yesterday to veto legislation banning the torture of prisoners by US troops after an overwhelming and almost unprecedented revolt by loyalist congressmen.

Our "born again" evangelical President is vetoing legislation banning torture and the religious "values voters" who elected him are still maintaining a code of silence on this issue.
