she's probably their best example. In the same way that, SOMETIMES, you can also get a decent probing question out of chris wallace over there, too. But it's the exception, NOT the rule. And I still don't trust her. Believe me, she KNOWS who it is - who's paying for her mascara and facial contour powder (that always makes her look like Nixon did with his perennial five-o'clock-shadow) and all those nice skimpy tops and short tight skirts and stiletto heels she wears on camera. She knows who butters her bread. She's NEVER going to stray too far off the reservation in some quest to appear like an objective journalist.

I would LOVE for someone, anyone, from anywhere, ON anywhere, to ask about the whole forgiveness thing. You're forgiven? You believe in that, I'm sure. You believe in God. You believe in Jesus. You believe that you - that we all - were born forgiven by the suffering Christ on the Cross long ago. But if you believe that, does that somehow make it okay to do whatever the heck you feel like doing, even if it's wrong - because you believe you're already forgiven? So then, whatever sin you commit is already excused? And you have already been issued a free pass? Please explain.

She won't. But it needs to be asked. These folks who seek to smear their religion all over our faces and shove it up our asses and down our throats 24/7/365 need to be asked this. They need to be confronted by this and they need to try to explain it. They need to be put on the spot about this. I'll bet some of 'em have never even given it a thought.
