A House Divided

Just had to laugh and cry at the same time when I logged onto the Drudge Report today.

Someone took out an ad showing an older map of the U.S.A.

The map rips apart, and a quotation moves to the foreground.  It reads:

A house divided cannot stand.

Attribution: Abraham Lincoln

Now, I like Honest Abe.  I really do.  He's a good guy in the history of our nation and a revered president, but, you know, we really need to give credit where credit is due.

And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.  --Jesus (Mark 3:25)

Spoken roughly 1850 years BEFORE Abraham Lincoln and the source of Lincoln's quote.

So, is it an honest mistake by the advertiser or an effort to further remove Christianity from the public sphere?

I'm not thinking it's a mistake.
