Bill Moyers interviewed Jeremiah Wright (Part I)

Part II

It was worth watching last night. The links lead to the page with video stream links.

Frankly, I got the impression from this piece that Reverend Wright takes the saying "faith without works is dead" as a direct challenge...

I tried Googling that saying and got horribly confused by all the semantics squabbles on the internet tubey thingies. I dusted off my Bible and started reading at James 2:26. That's where the quote "faith without works is dead" comes from, but that's where the important information ends, back your way up through James to get it.

Bet you didn't think I owned a Bible, didja?

Well I do, and occasionally I consult it. There's some good stuff in it, and some really outdated CRAP in it also. Like all religious texts written a few thousand years ago, there is some silly, superstitious, arrogant, patriarchal, misogynous, homophobic, outdated bullshit in them.

Update 8:42 AM 4/28/2008 -- AND as y'all reminded me, (thank you for that) there is violence, mayhem, murder, all that happy horseshit in thet there Bible too.
