Taking Back...

"For far too long, conservatives have claimed dominion over words like 'values,' and 'morality' -- and, in doing so, have helped define them. To their way of thinking, morality only relates to issue of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. It's time for Democrats to take back control of the concept and expand the definition to include lying, hypocrisy, and callous indifference to those in need."

From Arainna Huffington's weblog, in an introduction to a "guest blogger's" piece by Chuck Gutenson on what could be considered "social Christianity."

"I wish all Americans, and particularly many of my Christian friends, would reflect deeply upon the vision Arianna lays out--a vision which refuses to relegate God to the status of a household god in charge of my personal piety. The Gospel of Christ (literally, the Good News) has individual, personal implications, but properly understood, it reaches far beyond that into every nook and cranny of human existence--public and private."

Now that's my kind of Christian.
