I believe a lot of the early hatred of Pres. Bush was because he used the actual name of Jesus when asked which person most influenced his life.
The liberals will thinly tolerate talk of religion and “god” (note small “g”) if it is in the abstract or about multi-culti religions.
But mention “Jesus” and their hatred is kindled.
Bingo.
The author of this article isn't wrong. But I see him analyzing a spiritual problem with a worldly diagnosis.
