Thank God for the ACLU. Seriously.

We should all be thankful for the ACLU, the American Civil Liberties Union. I think it is even right to thank God for this organization. Not only do they work to preserve the civil liberties of the average American, oh no, they are also helping to preserve that religious matters are taken seriously. And for that we should thank God.

The ACLUs effect is clearly felt this week, especially if you follow the news. The ACLU was the first to publish substantiated reports about the treatment of religious items in an American military prison. And that treatment was not good: the Holy Book was not treated with respect. So, lets thank God for the ACLUs effort to bring the issue to the light.

The Holy Book I am talking about is the Koran, which is more important to Muslims than the Bible is to Christians. And abusing such a Holy Item is clearly a sin, even if it is not a Holy Item in our religion. Such treatment and abuse brings shame to our faith, and we should not accept this. So let us thank God for the ACLU and pray for the sinners that abuse religious items in our name.
