Hope for Real Christianity

Here is an excellent article by Kathleen Parker in the Washington Post titled "Is a New Generation of Christians Finished with Politics?" It discusses how the Christian Coalition and other cultural crusaders have not been successful in politics and have stained the message and reputation of Xianity in the process. Because of this, signs are emerging that either Xians are finished as a political group or Xians are beginning to become fed-up with politics.

James Dobson, Pat Robertson, etc... don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Preview:
'If people who call themselves Christians want to see any influence in the culture, then they ought to start following the commands of Jesus and people will be so amazed that they will be attracted to Him.' Thomas told me. 'The problem isn't political. The problem is moral and spiritual. You have the choice between a way that works and brings no credit or money or national attention or, a way that doesn't work that gets you lots of attention and has little influence on the culture.'

This is much more entertaining than class at this moment. :-)

Also, on a completely different note, Huhn mentioned in some chitchat about the Obama policy on wiretapping mimicking the Bush policy... maybe even pushing it even farther.

Keep it up! I enjoy reading :)
