“I can’t say I know how the current president looks on the rest of the world. I
am determined and sometimes stubborn, and he is, too, but I don’t look on the
rest of the world as he does, despite our shared Christian faith. For instance,
I worry about our endangered values. I worry about nuclear-weapons
proliferation. I worry about our torture of prisoners and how that affects our
commitment to human rights. I believe in waging war only when our security is in
danger. I believe in taking care of and preserving the environment. On these
issues, he and I are almost diametrically opposed. Certainly, I do not profess
to understand his motivations. As Christians, yes, we worship the same savior,
Jesus Christ, and I think we worship Christ in the same way. I look on some
aspect of Jesus Christ perhaps differently from him: I worship the Prince of
Peace.”

He said it...it had to be said
So I totally stole this "Quote of the Day" from Ethan's blog, but the recent quote from Jimmy Carter that is posted on one of The New Yorker blogs just makes too much sense. As someone who considers himself a Christian and a Liberal, I appreciated this quote on many levels.
