Who are you?

Who are you?

 

From the June 26 “Say What?” column in Doonesbury:

“The reports of conditions for migrant children at the border should shock all of our consciences. Those created in the image of God should be treated with dignity and compassion, especially those seeking refuge from violence back home.”

-- Russell Moore, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention

“Who are you? Have you ever made payroll? Have you ever built an organization of any type from scratch? What gives you the authority to speak on any issue? I’m being serious. You’re nothing but an employee -- a bureaucrat.”

-- Jerry Falwell Jr., head of Liberty University, in response

 

My reply; this paraphrase of Emily Dickinson:

I’m Nobody! Who are you?

Could it be you’re Nobody too?

Why then that makes the two of us!

Don’t tell the rest, they’d make a fuss.

 

How dreary to be Somebody!

How public, like a Frog

To say your name the lifelong day

To an admiring Bog!
