The Rachel Buchmans of the world try to condemn us by putting words into our mouths that we have not said. They accuse us of considering ourselves better than others simply because we have the temerity to profess our faith.

I am a baptized-in-immersion, washed-in-the-blood-of-the Lamb, born-again Christian. I have been so for nearly thirty years. In all those years, I have yet to meet another Christian anywhere who stated, publicly or privately, that he or she considered themselves superior to any other by virtue of their faith. Never have I personally said, implied or intimated to anyone that I am superior to them because of my faith. To the contrary, I consider myself to be the least of my brethren here. Yet this is the charge levied against Christians over and over and over again.

For example, an e-mail message opposing 'gay rights' was enough to cause Ms. Buchman to self-immolate. Mere disagreement with the homosexual agenda is justification enough to be branded with all manner of epithets; homophobe, nazi, etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseum. The example set by the flippant, condescending tone of Ms. Buchman's voice-mail is classic. Then again, I'm not telling you something you don't already know.
