Ashcroft and Christianity

Former Attorney General John Ashcroft gave an amusing interview to the

New York Times Magazine yesterday.  In it, he spoke a bit about why he was
attracted to Christianity. 

Former Attorney General John Ashcroft gave an amusing interview to the
New York Times Magazine today.  In it, he spoke a bit about why he was
attracted to Christianity.  Though I likely disagree with Ashcroft on
nearly everything, the explanation he gives in the interview mostly
rings true:

"I'm a Christian for a variety of reasons.  Maybe because it's easy. 
What I have to do to please God is to confess that I am a sinner
instead of trying to prove that I am good . . . I'm unkind on occasion,
and I am selfish.  For me, embracing the Christian faith is something
that I do not because I am good but because I am not good, because I
need help."

Amen.
