I do not find her account of her conversion to be remarkable but typical. That does not imply that it is not an occasion for rejoicing it is only to say that her spiritual journey is one last has been replicated often.

Since this is a political forum, it is appropriate to remark that I had thought for some time that I was watching someone moving to the right politically when I watched her on TV. She often conceded that the left was wrong and sought to make a distinction which was plausible but not of standard talking points.

Finally, I find her observation that she is entitled to no credit for "courage" to be revealing of a person who has come to the Lord with a certain sense of humility which speaks well of her and her experience as one who is drawn rather than self-propelled.

I too watched in amazement as Kirsten started thinking for herself and her former liberal fanaticism began to fade away. Didn’t know until now that it was because she experienced a spiritual awakening & rebirth in Christ.

So, it’s indeed true that “ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”.

Praise the Lord!

I’m confused how religious themed threads are moderated.

You have a thread like this, on a topic that really ONLY evangelical freepers could appropriately comment on (whether Krisin’ Powers conversion to Evangelical Christianity is sincere and what to make of it), but it’s open to ALL freepers to comment on, whether we’re Evangelical or not (I’m not).

On the other hand, you have religious themed topics that would seemingly pertain to everyone, and yet they’re closed threads and we’re not allowed to post on them even though the issue affects us. For example, there’s a thread called “Poll: any “illegal immigration” sermons at Worship today?” and it’s tagged as [REFORMED/EVANGELICAL CAUCUS] only, so I’m not allowed to post there. Why not? Wouldn’t ALL Christians be able to comment on whether they heard a pro-illegal alien sermon on Sunday, not just Evangelical and Reformed freepers? What’s more, wouldn’t that issue concern ALL Christian conservatives? It certainly concerns me and the fact that many Christian pastors are promoting illegal immigration.

Sorry if this is off topic, but I really can’t make heads or tails of the “caucus” reasoning on FR.
