At 6:30 am I thought the only things I had to worry about today were my beloved Jets taking the over rated Mark Sanchez in the draft and Jr. winning at Talledega I should have quit while I was ahead. Doing as I do everyday before going to run I went to the LVRJ editorial page. Upon reading this editorial and the letters to the editor I thought possibly I had awakened in a different country or perhaps an episode of the Twilight Zone. As my heart rate reached an unhealthy level I grabbed my running shoes and 7 miles later and one major decision I am ready to write this.
Bybee, Scalia, Bush, Cheney, Reid, Pelosi Obama etc. they are all one in the same. Good God fearing Christians. Have the true words of Christ been lost to our leaders? Whether you believe or not his true message was and is universal. I say Impeach Bybee and excommunicate him from his Mormon Church.
As for me and my big decision I will no longer sit amongst these fellow Christians in any of their houses of worship especially not my own LDS Church. These are no longer Holy places of worship but modern day star chambers. Places where people who believe in torture can commune together in love and fellowship. Before he died the author Kurt Vonnegut said these people wouldn’t know Christ if he came to them and if they found him they would send him straight to the electric chair!
As I cried for my country, my children and the grandchildren I hope to have I for the first time felt completely hopeless and totally in the wilderness. I’m not sure my Country has what it takes to overcome the cry for torture coming from those amongst us. God Bless America.
