Maybe this belongs in the religion folder, I dunno. But I wanted to post it. Sometimes we all get so jaded about religion in general, Christianity, and so forth that we forget there are people of faith like this...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_ChaplainsThere was a similar story from 9/11 about a Muslim who refused to leave his Jewish friend and co-worker alone in a stairwell of the WTC. The Jewish man was handicapped and couldn't be rescued for some reason.
I know every religion has more than its share of turds. But we can be grateful for the shining lights in each faith and denomination as well.
