A Thinking Reed

Who’s got the messiah complex now?

Good analysis from Chris (of Lutheran Zephyr) on McCain and Obama’s answers to Rick Warren’s “Does evil exist?” question at the Saddleback Church forum.

Obama’s response–noting that only God can ultimately defeat evil and that the potential for evil lurks in our own hearts and in our best intentions–was very Niebuhrian.

    It is also very Hauerwasian.

  2. Lee – thanks for reading, and for the shout out! Blessings and peace to you.
