Gregg Easterbrook, better known these days as ESPN‘s Tuesday Morning Quarterback, had this to say about the ten commandments flap in Alabama:

As a church-going Christian — TMQ was in this church on Sunday — I find it deeply embarrassing when Christianity is associated, in the public eye, with hucksters like Moore. I find it embarrassing, too, when Christians supporting Moore’s hunk of stone suggest that a big object in a public square is what matters, rather than the power of God’s message itself. Anyone who needs to look at a big object in order to believe, doesn’t really believe.

Amen, brother.
