more on pat - again.
here is one reason i no longer desire to be called a christian:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Conservative Christian televangelist Pat Robertson told citizens of a Pennsylvania town that they had rejected God by voting their school board out of office for supporting "intelligent design" and warned them on Thursday not to be surprised if disaster struck. [link]i have come to the conclusion that people like pat robertson are not the people i desire to walk in faith with - our thougts are different, our actions are different, out core is different, our desires are different and most of all our view of God is very different. when a man proclaims that disaster will fall upon a people because they did not do what he thinks God desires, is a man proclaiming some power he does not have - and it is a man that if following a faith far different then the one i follow and the christ i know.
my robertson can do as he desire, but it is men like this that cause more people to walk away from christianity - my hope is that they walk into the arms of christ. because in my heart, while i will pray for pat, christ is not seen in his words.

I totally agree with you! You know, it's guys like that that give Christians a bad name. It really makes me realize that my job as a minister is not only to share the gospel but to try and repair the damage that people like that have done to the way Christians are perceived in this society.
heres the scary thing lots of people thought and probably still do that pr would have been/be a good president
small group guy,
what the dictionary says a "christian" is, is of very little value to me - because it does not carry the baggage 2,000 years has placed on it - a defination is bland, and the reality is dynamic :)
i could, but i would rather spend my energy following jesus then trying to get others to see that a "christian" can be different - so i simply select not to be called one :) if it sounds like i have "left the faith" then i have to ask why? can't one have a different view?
