Keller added, “When you see someone claiming to be a Christian bombing an abortion clinic, or killing an abortion doctor, or physically attacking someone who has chosen to engage in act of homosexuality, they are not following the teachings of Jesus of how the Bible tells us to live

Yet, in many other modern contexts (i.e. homosexuality), Christianists like Keller will gladly reach back for some Leviticus or Deuteronomy if it suits them.
