Jimmy Carter, the media's idea of a good Christian, is very
adept at deleting from his dog-eared bible any passages that
conflict with the platform of the Democratic Party. In this
column, he ranks the harsh treatment of terrorists as America's
most unforgivable sin. The legality of "torture" -- what that means
according to international standards isn't clear -- makes him
squirm. But his conscience grows a little more elastic when the
legality of abortion comes up. Another distressing crisis for
Carter is the "increasingly intertwined" relationship between
"church and state." He punctuates this hysterical contention by
declaring the intertwining "unimaginable." To anybody who has
cracked open an American history book and studied the country's
first 180 years, the emergence of religion in the public square is
quite imaginable.
