This is Progress?

In this article the author talks about a conference -sponsored by the "Center for American Progress" - held in Washington for the religious left at which staffers for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops "huddled with mainstream Jewish leaders and Muslim progressives" and "moderate" evangelicals conferred with officials from the National Council of Churches. One speaker says that 90% of attendees were pro-abortion rights and pro-gay rights. They even object to Jesus' words where He said, "No man cometh unto the Father but by Me" (Jn. 14:6).
This brings up some interesting questions: How can they call themselves "Christians" when they reject the words of Christ? Are they wiser and more knowledgable than their Creator? Jesus said, "A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher" (Lk. 6:40). They call themselves "Progressives". Have they progressed past the Head, the Teacher, the King of kings and Lord of lords, the Originator of christianity? Are they telling the Lord Jesus Christ what He can and cannot say? Was His death on the cross unnecessary? How strange!
