Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Behethland responds to Steve:

Of course he didn't!

My point is that I don't know enough about someone else's religion to decipher what is fundamentalist doctrine and what is the intended message. I have never read the actual Q'uran, just exerpts in textbooks and literature, and through lectures in World Religion. I would like to hear the viewpoint of someone who practices that religion.

I'm sure there are many who aren't familiar with Christianity but see fundamentalists preaching their narrow-minded doctrine and think that is what Jesus taught!

You are treading on dangerous ground when you begin to call another's religion false.
