Damn you to hell, American Prospect

If anybody is interested in seeing a wonderfully irresponsible piece of hacktastic journalism, they've got your stuff over at the American Prospect. Ayelish McGarvey has an awful article about how Bush really isn't a Christian. Now, I've wondered about that myself seeing as how his policy is totally inconsistent with Christian ideology, but that really isn't the place for a journalist to judge. It's a fine subject to discuss over a beer. Religion is as personal a subject as there can be. It's just not right to me to have some outside observer judge the validity of someone else's professed faith. It would be fine if the article pointed out inconsistencies between faith and action and described the faith as potentially misguided. I don't see the point of making the judgement about whether someone whom you don't personally know actually has the beliefs that they profess. It strikes me as more than a little irresponsible.
