Not a Good Way to Start The Day

The Pope is in DC and playing footsie with the President. In response to something the Pope said, The President rejoined, "In a world where some treat life as something to be debased and discarded, we need your message that all human life is sacred and . . . each of us is loved."

Preemptive War, Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, Iraq, Katrina, renditions, six years of policies that favor the rich over everyone else. Such are not the acts of a man who believes all human life is sacred. The fact that lightning did not strike at the very moment these words were spoken is evidence of the atheist's case.
