Maybe CNN should bring in a Quaker from Oklahoma to set the record straight that Catholics killing people in Belgium is not what Quakers are about.
Um, what?
Ok, I see what you're saying now. My apologies. My response is, sure! If a Catholic terrorist group was currently slaughtering thousands of people in the name of Jesus, I would have no problem with any news source interviewing a person who was there representing Christianity. Obviously it would be more informative if they interviewed a Catholic specifically, but if they interviewed a Christian from another denomination, why the heck should I care? I would be much more concerned about the fact that thousands of innocent people are being murdered in the name of my faith, than I would about saving face or whatever.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
