Kurt Vonnegut on the Beatitudes

(Filed under: Politics)

"For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes. But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course that’s Moses, not Jesus. I haven’t heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere."

-Kurt Vonnegut, author of Slaughterhouse-Five (Source: In These Times, May 10, 2004)
