1/4 of the population is Catholic, but just 1 Catholic is listed as a "50 Most Influential Christians"?

From what I see, not one of these has much to do with entertainment(books aside) or journalism--Christian or otherwise. Has the influence of Christianity gone so far down hill that music and journalism have no good witness anymore?

What about Fred Barnes in journalism? Or Patricia Heaton--isn't she a Christian actress? Just wondering.

These are the results of a poll. Any relationship to reality is purely coincidental.

The 50 most influential Christians in America
[5] Sandra Day O'Connor, U.S. Supreme Court Justice O'Connor

An abortionist as an influential Christian? I wonder how she explains Abortion to her grandchildren (who weren't aborted)?

I want to vomit over Jimmy Carter being on the list. Never met a dictator or terrorist he didn't like or help. Millions and millions of people have been subjected to more horror and terror, thanks to this fraud.

[5] Sandra Day O'Connor, U.S. Supreme Court Justice ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who is notoriously pro-abortion and voted to strike down the partial-birth abortion laws of more than 30 states, is presenting the annual "Sandra Day O'Connor Medal of Honor" to Judge Maryanne Trump Barry (Sister of Donald Trump) of the U.S. Court of Appeals, the pro-abortion author of the opinion striking down the New Jersey partial-birth abortion statute.

Matthew 7

15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.

16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

[10] Jimmy Carter -- "He is always willing to share his faith with others, which shows in the strides he has made through humanitarian work."

So that's why he had Michael Moore sit in his box at the RATS convention --- just offering Moore a little 'ol time religion, huh?

BS!

I respect these men's opinions on much.

No top 50 rank for the Pope? He is a Christian.

And what about the head of the head of the Mormon church? They refer to them selves, as Christians.

By who's and what definition, are those on the list eligible, and my suggestions not?

I gather that this is mainly from a protestant point of view, and that it is 2 years old. Also, Carter and O'Connor are among the most significant, in a VERY negative way.

Mel Gibson and D. James Kennedy are missing. They could easily replace a few of the names on that list.
