I read DU from time to time ("know your enemy", etc.) and have gotten used to the virulent anti-Christian comments that pepper any topic remotely relating to Christianity or Christians. Attacks against other faith traditions and their adherents seem to be classified as "hate speech" and censored.

But what still continues to amaze me is the utter ignorance these attackers have about Christianity. If they have any knowledge at all, it tends to be anecdotes about what some nun said or did in parochial school when they were a child or something they heard about a wacky sect that performs "exorcisms" on epileptics or whomever.

Once recent discussion on this very topic had posters bashing the ECUSA for their "bigotry" against gay people. Even after some more knowledgeable posters clarified that the ECUSA was very gay-friendly, the disparagement went on. It appears they literally cannot think if the word "Christian" appears on their screen. It's truly the devil's work.

I know some good Christians who consider themselves liberal (may God in his mercy lead them to the truth :-)), but I truly can't understand how they manage to wallow in the filth spewed out by their fellow "liberals" against them.

One small correction: I just read the article about two churches leaving the ECUSA's Diocese of Los Angeles. When I say the DUmpsters were discussing "this very topic" that's what I was referring to, not Lord Carey's tour.

And, by the way, please pray for the former Archbishop as he makes this tour. As far as I'm concerned he was the last godly man to sit in the Canterbury throne. May God richly bless his courage and perseverance!
