This is a Jimmy Carter Christian. Kinda like a Yellow Dog Democrat. We used to have a mess of them here in Georgia.

On an even more personal level, as the daughter of a minister whose opposition to new conservatism in the Southern Baptist Convention meant that he regularly confronted the use of racism in struggles for power


Robert J. Anderson - that's the first face you see at the Southern Baptist Convention's webpage when you look up the members of the Executive Committee.

"“My people”--both Christians and Southerners, according to my friend and many Yale students--are changing our nation with a conservative agenda. "

Oh, sure.

Once America was a place where gays could marry, condoms were distributed freely in schools, drug use was happily accepted and taxpayers could be forced to purchase Ward Churchill's opinions.......

....and then the Christians came along and changed everything.

I'd be very interested to read what this girl thinks of her own article in--oh say ten years.

I'd tell anyone sending her email not be too harsh and avoid the flames--remember God and Man at Yale--she is living in a very anti-religous environment. Instead just give her some insight of what it means to be Christian outside of Academia.

It may be that in--oh say ten years--when she has lived a bit in the real world as opposed to an ultra-liberal campus she'll "get it."

We were all young once (remember Winston Churchill).

Just my .02

The good news is that the left feels the need to talk faith. It's great, no matter how they try to spin it.

"On the train ride back to Yale from Boston in the morning hours of Nov. 3, 2004, my best friend looked at me through eyes tearing with frustration and said, “Your people did this.”

Damn straight we did, chicky. Suck it up and deal.

"Many Christians, like myself, ........ believe that God loves all people, regardless of race, creed, color or sexual orientation.

........except of course, if they are pro-life Republicans. Then we hate them so much we burst into tears.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 (1) But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without selfcontrol, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God– 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

What Bible is this wolf-in-sheeps-clothing reading?

Or to put it another way: "Even the devil can quote Scripture for his own purposes."

"Don't the Unitarian/Universalists call themselves "Christian"?"

I don't believe so. I was raised a Universalist. Universalists were more Christian than Unitarians who, obviously, are not trinitarian, and therefore not Christian. However, the Universalists virtually disappeared in the merger between the two denominations.

"John Wycliff had it in the 14th century: 'How should God approve that you rob Peter, and give this robbery to Paul in the name of Christ?'"
The left will talk about their Christian values (providing for the poor) to justify their socialist views.
Whereas,my view is "The lord helps those that help themselves"
More Republicans should take the stance of hand up not hand outs.
But then where would the Democratic Party be without victims?
