Is It Worth Outrage?
On Tuesday Stones Cry Out asked "Where's the Outrage?" concerning Howard Dean's characterization of "right-wing pastors" as evil.
This is truly an outrageous statement, but is it worthy of outrage? Recall Jesus' simple response to the accusations thrown at Him by the Sanhedrin. What about Paul's admonishment to "Bless those that persecute you"
In the words of Abraham Lincoln, "Better to remain quiet and be thought a fool, than speak and remove all doubt." Howard Dean condemns himself with these staements far more than any of us ever could.
