The new Governor of Alabama made some stink the other day when he commented, during a Martin Luther King, Jr. day speech, that people who were not Christian were not his “brothers and sisters.”
Like you might expect – various groups became offended at this statement and the Anti-Defamation League immediately denounced the comment and called for the new Governor to apologize.
Yesterday – he did. Sorry he disenfranchised anyone, sorry he offended anyone. Political speak…
So my question is this. Well, two questions actually.
1. Does he have to apologize to the Christians who he has now offended with his apology?
- Do those same Christians, who held this new Governor up as a powerful representation of what they believe this country needs, feel like his apology has damaged further the opinion of Christianity?
What do you think?
Maybe it’s just me – but for once I’d love for someone to take a stand on something, ANYTHING, and not be swayed just because someone else sticks their lip out.
