Get behind me, Sauronic Eye

More CBS News highlights:

The Media Research Center reports that 60 Minutes contributor Andy Rooney, speaking at Tufts University, confirms that Bush hatred motivated the Rather-gate story:

CBS's Andy Rooney attributed the motivation behind CBS's hit on President Bush based on forged documents to the political agenda of CBS News staffers. "There's no question they wanted to run it because it was negative towards Bush ..."

Well, that's no big surprise but it's nice to know the confirmation is out there. The next quote, however, is even more telling and important:

"Rooney also attributed voters' reliance on religion in the recent election to ignorance" and "said Christian fundamentalism is a result of 'a lack of education. They haven't been exposed to what the world has to offer.'"

That's the problem with us Christians. We just haven't had enough exposure to what the world has to offer us. Maybe if CBS would just take us to the top of a tall mountain, or temple, and offer us power, riches and sensual delight, we might give up this unreasoning belief in and reliance upon God.

Jesus had a similar moment. Scripture says Satan (an Andy Rooney precursor?) offered Him power over all nations of the world. He said, "Get away from me, Satan. It is written: The Lord your God shall you worship. Him alone shall you serve."

We're not ignorant Mr. Rooney. We've seen your world. We reject it in the name of the One who saves us.
