I Swear

Congressman Virgil Goode made some headlines recently with his bigoted comments about new House Rep. Keith Ellison getting sworn in using the Koran. He muddled on about being afraid of a bunch of Muslim immigrants taking over the country. The insecurity of right wing Christianists is stunning sometimes. They don't believe in their own faith's ability to endure. Of course, it is not just Christians, other religions are also guilty of similar religious insecurity as well. Except maybe Buddhists, who seem comfortable letting their faith exist organically.
