    Default Red Letter Christians Are Like Cafeteria Catholics

    He then lists the social issues that are of concern—inequality, the environment, education, overseas development aid, and discrimination. I don’t think I would disagree with any of these issues, as you could see from wandering around this blog. It is worth noting, however, that Campolo’s proposal of transcending the right/left divide looks somewhat disingenuous here, as these are all ‘left’-type issues. Where is the mention of parenting and the scandal of a fatherless generation? Where the need for a sense of personal moral responsibility? These classically ‘right’ issues also have a good claim to be rooted in Christian values.

    Clearly sounds like a bunch of barely religious Democrats.

    Red Letter Revival comes to Lynchburg, seeks to separate evangelism from politics

    They seem more interested in attacking Jerry Falwell than doing anything productive.

    Anybody know if all the dead babies go to Heaven? I mean, they were never Baptized?

    You know, that makes me wonder. What if the dead baby is in China or Iran or India instead of Ireland? Do they ALL go to Heaven, or just the Irish one?

    The evangelists are misguided into believing the Scofield heresy.

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.


    “If Hamas put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons, there would be no Israel."
