FT. LAUDERDALE, Aug. 23 /Christian Newswire/ -- Rev. Gary Cass, Chairman and CEO of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission, will be available to the media to respond to tonight's airing of CNN's program "God's Warriors," hosted by Christina Amanpour.

Ted Turner: Christians are "bozos" and "Christianity is for losers" and the Ten Commandments "out of date," especially the one against adultery.

Bill Press: Host of CNN's Crossfire speaking of conservative evangelicals; "Their religion is so narrow, and its so mean, and its so ugly, and so intolerant, and its so un-Christian."

Anderson Cooper's 360 interviewed Christopher Hitchen's who, within hours of his death, called Jerry Falwell, "a little toad … a horrible little person… an evil old man… a conscious charlatan and bully and fraud."

Dr. Cass just returned from Iraq after meeting with Prime Minister Maliki and other high ranking Iraqi officials regarding religious liberty in Iraq. In 1980, Cass began working behind the Iron Curtain with the persecuted church in the Soviet Union. For twenty years he served as a minister in San Diego and is ordained in the Presbyterian Church in America. In 2004, Cass, recognized for his leadership in the pro-life movement and for helping other Christians get elected for political office was made the Executive Director of The Center for Reclaiming America for Christ, An Outreach of Coral Ridge Ministries founded by Dr. D. James Kennedy. Dr. Cass is the author of Gag Order and co-author of The Bible and the Black Board and has appeared in national and regional TV, radio and print media including ABC World News Tonight and the Washington Post.

There was a question/answer thing with her on CNN.com

I read it over and honestly, there’s a lot of opinion in there! And yet they will try to spin this as an objective investigation, when it’s really anything but. One of the more telling commentaries was that there are problems when a group claims to be the only one able to interpret “God’s word”. But this is an essential cop out; many Christian denominations get along despite theological differences. But this all comes to a head when we got on something like abortion, as it’s an attempt to marginalize the position. This woman kindly skirts the idea that there are some things you find so abbhorrent, you simply cannot get along with it.

Why protest? It's going exactly as planned:

"All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved."
-- Matthew 10:22

My God's bigger than CNN.

The common thread in the two previous installments, on the Jews and the Muslim, was that rejecton of secular liberalism is bad no matter who is doing it. The format is: show a religous but peaceful person looking for spirituality and piety, and rejecting oversexualized permissive Western anti-culture. Then show a militant with a gun rejecting oversexualized permissive Western anti-culture. Let the viewer connect the dots. I would expect this one follow the same pattern.

Exactly. I saw the first 2 parts, and I expect the last part will be the same.

There are liberals that honestly see Christianity as a much bigger threat than Islamic terrorism.

The CNN series is a hit piece by secular, moral relativists to demonize religion, period. In their world view, a person’s faith should have no influence whatsoever on their vote, lol.

Amanpour’s only success so far has been in equating Judaism and Islam as equally tyrannical, with terrorists lurking in equal numbers in both faiths - right.

Tonight is Christianity's turn.

BTW, Amanpour is a Palestinian suck-up.

The Q&A session was a farce and looked rigged as well as highly filtered.

Any time the moderator/question picker is on the same ‘team’, the goal is propoganda, not examination. If she got a hard question and stumbled (which she would), then she looks like an idiot and the program loses credibility.

Christina Amanpour is probably the last person I would listen to on the topic of Christianity.

Of course. That's because they're idiots who refuse to do their own thinking!

yeah, i’m also really lookin forward to michael vick’s series on pet ownership.
i watched most of last night’s, and it was almost comical in its spin, bias, and pandering.

can’t wait for tonight’s !! barf bag(s) on standby...

for less bias, see ELTON JOHN’s comments on Christianity...

amanpour IS originally iranian, i believe, btw.

Or deep down they really sense that they are headed for Hell and really do see God (and Christ) as a "threat".
