Worth Pondering

Worth Pondering February 7, 2015

This essay “Crimes of the Christian Right” at least ought to make us ponder. I do not know the author or the institutions he represents but when I read this it made me think.

“Jesus lived as an itinerant preacher, surrounding himself with flawed and uneducated disciples, was despised by the religious leaders of his day, and his ministry emphasized anything but the militaristic “gospel” that too many modern churches preach today. ”

“I believe that political evangelicalism has done more to impede the Gospel than the worst legal restrictions that Progressives have applied and will apply in the future.”

“While Christianity grows overseas in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, it is dying in this country. I believe that one of the most important reasons has been the love affair between evangelicals and the State, the worship of a false god, a god that can sustain nothing but sorrow and death.”
