Quote for Sunday, February 2, 2014
For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us
never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5).
But, often with tears in their eyes,
they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted
in public buildings.
And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus.
I haven't heard one of them demand that
the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes,
be posted anywhere. "Blessed are the merciful"
in a courtroom? "Blessed are the peacemakers"
in the Pentagon? Give me a break!
~ Kurt Vonnegut (A Man Without a Country)
