I linked to this article already to discuss the Dalai Lama’s opinion of technology and the peace process, but a little further down the article is this gem:
Tutu, who issued his thanks via video from South Africa, said religion has often been used almost diabolically to encourage such things as xenophobia and homophobia.
“I sometimes wonder how people could ever think that God is a Christian,” he said. “The spirit of God is wider than any one particular faith.”
Did I not say something similar myself just the other day? Indeed I did:
God can be an all encompassing concept. Christianity is not.
Huh. I allow myself a little moment of awesome.

K, over it.
