Kaylor Challenges Scarborough

Brian Kaylor, author of "For God's Sake Shut Up!", offers a needed critique of Rick Scarborough's response to Stephen Colbert. Scarborough and a sizeable number of SBC fundamentalists have a penchant for questioning the faith of anyone and everyone who dares to disagree with them.

Here's a quote from Kaylor:

When Jim Wallis appeared on "The Daily Show" in January of 2005, he stated that comedian Jon Stewart was similar to the Hebrew prophets, since he used humor and telling the truth to make his points. It seems that Colbert has followed in this unconventional but important prophetic role. His critique of Scarborough suggests as much.

So I will pray for Stephen Colbert, that he may continue to influence our culture and provide a much needed critique of religious leaders when they start preaching "truthiness" instead of the Truth.

And I will pray for Rich Scarborough that he will stop falsely attacking the faith of others and will start being a more positive influence for our culture. In essence, I will pray that Scarborough will be more like Colbert.

I agree with Kaylor that Colbert exerts a more positive influence on our culture than Scarborough, but I will pray for both Colbert and Scarborough to be more like Jesus. He's the only person any Christian should strive to emulate.
