I thought it was a pretty good essay, especially considering it's the cover story in Newsweek fer goodness sake. It hits all the high points of the Biblical angle, and makes the points about the "true meaning" of Jesus' teachings very well too IMHO. And the distinctions between the civil and the religious meaning of the "M" word.

I predict it will raise much ire among subscribers. And, perhaps, open a few eyes and minds.

Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love,
to respect and be kind to one another,
so that we may grow with peace in mind.
