    Where Are The Christians?

    "Old Testamentology" (as I call it) has obliterated the teachings of Christ. One obscure sentence in the OT is more quoted than the Sermon on the Mount. Sad and scary.

    The churches raised almost $30 mil to fight Prop.8. Imagine what the Salvation Army could have done with this amount of money. And the SA helps anyone in the name of Christ.

    Focus on the Family is so pleased with their victory but they now must lay off many in these economic times. How proud the leaders must be. Imagine the blessings at empty tables. WWJD?

    With the will of God behind unjust wars, denying freedom of choice and used as the battle cry behind endless condemnation of everything, perhaps it is time to admit that in America...Christianity appears to be dead.
