Equal press for all religion

Sun., July 22, 2018

Many times the lead-in to a story starts with the Muslims or the Quran.

How about giving the Christians and the Bible equal coverage the next time a mass murderer says I did it because God told me to. Or when the priests sexually abuse children? Or when the KKK quote the Bible after a hanging? Or when the Aryan Nation wants to march for the rights the Bible gives to them? Or when the white supremacists’ use the Bible to explain their rights?

Has there ever been a headline pointing out that these groups are Christian and that the Bible has inspired them to take action? Would we be better served to call the vile actions of others as done by terrorists?
