The evangelists on television do not represent the vast majority of Christians. I do not weep openly and pound my neighbors for money for the "Cause of Christ" and then send them a little statue to thank them. No, the vast majority of Christians just try to live our lives, and try to seek holiness. We fail too often, but we continue to try. That's the journey. We hope we learn from mistakes and grow in our faith and understanding. That's the journey. I can't help the fact that the media makes every failure of a Christian leader Headline News. I guess they don't get the fact that Christians are not and do not claim to be perfect, just forgiven. (BTW, where are the stories about the hypocrisy of the "Religion of Peace"?)
People are imperfect. God knew that. That's why Jesus came--because people fail, and people get misled, and people are all hypocrites in one way or another. If not on the outside, then in their thought lives. (There is no one righteous, NO NOT ONE.)

Good points. Agreed.
That would cause riots in all of the world don't you know?
