From the Duggars to Dennis Hastert to virtually every Republican politician – some Christians are quick to claim the moral high road but when truly tested, their religion serves as a shield to hide behind truly immoral actions and immoral policies — all while telling atheists, agnostics and skeptics that it is we who lack a moral code.

Another case in point is a Tennessee attorney and former school board candidate, 39-year-old Fred Auston Wortman III. He is currently out on $15 million bond for attempting to hire a hitman to kill his wife.

Unfortunately for Wortman, the hitman was an undercover Tennessee Bureau of Investigation officer. Don’t you hate when that happens?

Wortman is an attorney and while his firm removed his online profile, WREG managed to note that it said “he was the married father of three children, a Christian, an outdoorsman, and a former player on the University of Tennessee’s National Championship Football team.”
