Our Christian Churches in every sect needs some stronger leadership.

Amen! It's only Christians who are to blame when this kind of thing is happening to so many Christian denominations. We get the government, schools & churches we deserve.

The leaders of our Christian Faith (Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopal, baptist, etc) paint Christ in the image of a peacenik, all inclusive, warm and fuzzy, quiet, discreet, shy, humble, passive man. In their attempt to emulate our Lord, they are misguided and erode (in my opinion) the true word and teachings of Christ. Christ was tolerant and accepting. But he was a man's man. He was a pretty tough guy. He gave no one a free pass and didn't accept excuses. He didn't pull punches and said it like it was. He was not discreet. He sent his apostles into towns to announce his coming and make preparations for his arrival. He preached against what the high priests were teaching from their mighty pulpits. He rebelled against the church of his time. He had physical altercations in defense of what was right. He condemned people and deeds. He feared nothing publicly and he was anything but politically correct.

He was, whether you believe in him as the Lord or not, the Human Race's strongest leader. Religiously or otherwise, his existence on this planet has affected the way billions have lived their lives for 2,000 years. This man did not change to appease or attract followers. He lead with truth, honesty and action.
