I hate to get political, but...

I received an email today from a legitimate source and could not believe my eyes.
As everyone should who gets email, I checked out the truthfulness of the claim, and I was even further in disbelief. Without going into great detail about it, I will summarize the situation to you.

The Washington Post posted a political cartoon on Sept. 9, 2008 online that took a shot at Sarah Palin. Now, I usually enjoy political cartoons, but this one went a step further. The shot at Palin extended to include Christians and God. If you would like to see the cartoon, just click here.
Why is it OK to draw a cartoon of God cursing?
Why in an age of "religious tolerance" do we respect all religions except Christianity?
Can you imagine the turmoil the Washington Post would have found themselves in if they would have posted a cartoon about Muslim faith or Islam? It would have been all over the news, people would have lost their jobs, and a public apology would have been made.

This doesn't really surprise me though when Jesus Himself said, "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first." John 15:18
