Coulter on Faith

Ann Coulter talked about her faith on Beliefnet. She can be a bit acerbic at times, but in this interview, she gave a quite belligerent interviewer some great responses:

Beliefnet:
As a woman, do you long for that source of great fulfillment for many women: a husband, a family? Or do you see your life’s vocation as primarily in the public arena?

Ann Coulter:
As a journalist, do you long to have a sense of decorum? Or do you see your life’s vocation as primarily asking strangers utterly inappropriate personal questions?

Beliefnet:

Do you think it is persuasive to trudge out long-dead horses such as Willie Horton (1988) or Piltdown Man (1912) and flog them one more time? Does anyone, even on the left, seriously regard Willie Horton as a “martyr,” as you call him? Tookie Williams, maybe, but Willie Horton? Does he really rate a chapter of his own?

Ann Coulter:

The word you’re searching for is “dredge,” not “trudge.” No: I included a pointless chapter just to take up space. Yes, of course it’s important. The Willie Horton chapter illustrates how a religion untethered to the Creator exhibits all the bad aspects of religion–myth-making, self-righteousness, and preachiness–in defense of remorseless killers, while casually sentencing the unborn to death.

I don’t agree with Ann on everything, but I think these responses were well-stated.
