Christianity and political hate speech

Very interesting article on how hateful political speech relates to Christian belief.  It should be read by all who profess to follow the teachings of Christ.

As Christians, we accept that words shape lives. With that comes a moral duty to use them carefully and gently for what is just. Too many among our faith have forgotten that. Civil discourse is not just a civic duty; to those of us who follow Christ, it is a Christian duty.

Of course, this will be rejected by the very "Christian" right wing.   They own the rights to "Christianity" now.
