And they shall say to me Lord , Lord , all these things we did in your name.

Scott Roeder, 51, of Merriam, Kan., whom authorities have described as a suspect in Sunday’s fatal shooting here of George Tiller, was once a subscriber and occasional contributor to a newsletter, Prayer and Action News, said Dave Leach, an anti-abortion activist from Des Moines who runs the newsletter. Mr. Leach said that he had met Mr. Roeder once, and that Mr. Roeder had described similar views to his own on abortion.

Commenting on Dr. Tiller’s death, Mr. Leach said, “To call this a crime is too simplistic.” He added, “There is Christian scripture that would support this."

Herein lies the hypocrisy and contradiction of the modern day Right Wing Evangelical Conservative Christians in America. They claim a belief in Christ , but do not follow his teachings nor do they embrace his message. That message is faith in God and treating ALL men as they would want to be treated themselves. It includes welcoming strangers. It includes loving your enemy. Not killing your perceived enemy. It includes feeding the homeless and taking in widows. It includes ministering to the sick and imprisoned. It EXCLUDES MURDER !!!

I think though they are very typical of a loud, strident minority (overall) that is trying to take hold of the evangelical right.
