				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week, Congressman Steve King helped us all understand morality by explaining that <A href="http://irregulartimes.com/index.php/archives/2009/11/20/republican-steve-king-only-christians-dont-like-killing-dogs/">only Christians feel sorry when they kill dogs</a>.  Apologizing is something only Christians do, says Representative King, and Americans often say they&#8217;re sorry.  That proves that the United States is a Christian nation, argues King.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a little old flaw to his argument, though.  Most Americans, when they do something wrong, apologize fairly soon after the mistake &#8211; within a day, a week, a month, and certainly within a year.  However, the members of the oldest Christian church in the United States, just <a href="http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-world/us-church-native-americans-reconcile-20091128-jxbm.html">today apologized for massacres and other violent atrocities it committed against Native Americans four centuries ago.</a></p>
<p>It seems that most Americans are doing better than this Christian standard for admitting guilt and seeking forgiveness.</p>
