This is Oprah’s stand, as well. She is influencing millions of people in her religious views.
I think there are many people on the Left who are trying their hardest to tear people away from Christ because they think that will help their Leftist political causes.
Didn't the famous atheist Jane Fonds in recent years claim to be a “feminist Christian” or something like that?
I view Leftist “Christians” who claim you don't really need Christ as hostile to Christianity and their bogus believe is costing them nothing in their own mind, in fact they gain as they actually turn others away from Christ or change his message to fit their political goals.
