6. "I marked a few passages" -- made me feel warm

Nicely drawn, too, imo.

You know, guys, this is what the terminally aggrieved DUers who are so anti-prayer and any form of public piety simply don't get. I strayed long ago, but all on my own in a non-religious family when I was still in grade school I read the King James Bible almost all the way through. (Okay, I got bogged down in the begats and Leviticus, but most people do.)

What stayed with me was not the tribal history and sometimes shocking events but what I think of as the good stuff. The poetry, including love poetry. The Sermon on the Mount. The Beatitudes. Old Testament exhortations to take care of the stranger in your land, the poor, the elderly.

The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Christian minister. Where do they think he got it from? He got the techniques and theory of non-violent civil disobedience from a Hindu, Mahatma Ghandi, but the ground of his being was the Old and New Testament. I can certainly see him telling President Obama that he had marked a few passages for him....
