Regular viewers of Fox & Friends Weekend know that co-host Julian Phillips has a penchant for parading his Christianity. Now, as a Jew, I want to walk gingerly and respectfully here. I believe there is a Christian obligation to profess one's faith, and I certainly respect that. Even so, I can't help but feel that there might possibly be something a bit ostentatious in Phillips' manner of fulfilling that duty.
In any case, Phillips took things an odd step further this morning when he essentially took it on himself to instruct a Christian minister on Christianity.
The subject matter was a church in Michiana, Indiana that has been running provocative billboards showing a couple's feet sticking out of the end of a bed and encouraging people to go to mylamesexlife.com. The idea is to invite them to the church to learn about God's plans for married people to have a good sex life [with their spouses of course ;-) ]
The Fox panel interviewed the pastor of the church, Mark Beeson. At the end of the interview, Pastor Beeson repeated his message that there is a God that cares and that there's hope and there's help for everybody [including in the area of marital sex].
That's when Phillips felt the need to remind the minister as to what was more important:
"We thank you for that BUT we also know the most important thing for a Christian is to conform to the image of Jesus Christ and become saved."
Perhaps realizing his impudence, Phillips added: "I know you know that," but then continued "OK, I'm sure you did, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE WERE CLEAR ON THAT, PASTOR."
Perhaps Phillips would be doing us all a favor if he gave up his gig at Fox and became a full-time man of the cloth.
"But then I liked Peter Jennings, too.."
Figures. Another liberal MSM mouthpiece.
