I remember some years ago there was a fracas in Louisville at a conference where a document for the UMC was drawn up and the leadership caved in to a cabal that sought to have "God" and "Jesus Christ" excised.
On CNN they interviewed a man leaving the conference and he said that they had to change the document "To keep the atheists in the church happy!"
My persistent question is why are these people so interested in a Christian denomination if they renounce and rebuke almost everything it means to be Christian?
...to which I say, "Amen!"
