Can we get a new spokesperson!

I am tired of the media going back to the same people, over and over again, to represent Christianity, especially Evangelicalism! Especially when they represent the extreme views of a minority of Christians.

And especially when they say things like this "We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability," Robertson said...."We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator," he continued. "It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with...."In his broadcast, Robertson said: "You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it...."It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war ... and I don't think any oil shipments will stop."

I can not even formulate a comment.

Seriously! Once again, I could hardly believe my eyes when I read the story. But, after enough of these stories, it is getting easier to believe all the time.

Right on. Generally tainted have we become.

It's sad that I have been made to feel more comfortable using the term "believer" rather than "christian", b/c of the negative associations with the likes of Robertson and such.

Amen, Rhett. Makes ya wonder if there's some way we can separate the "Christian" label from political affiliation altogether.
