Thank you for posting this. I see it as another part of her testimony about her journey to accepting Christ as her Savior.

It seems like a pretty good article, better than I would expect, but something to keep in mind I think is that she admittedly hasn’t believed in Christ for very long, and so not surprisingly she does hold many antichristian beliefs otherwise.

At this point, then, there is really no saying yet whether she will turn from those beliefs to Christ, as He will ask her to, or else decide to hold onto those beliefs and either proclaim that Christianity wasn’t true after all, or embrace a self-proclaimed Christian church that fits her views. In the latter case, that might mean that at some point she testifies in public that she tried Christianity and was a “true believer” but eventually saw the fundamental errors in it. Left-wing sites frequently publish similar apostate pieces, and the ex-Christian site, if you’ve seen it, is all about that. Those people actually testify against Christ, usually going into great detail about how supposedly devoted they were to Christ, only to honestly discover how the Christian faith is false (never realizing how hollow their accounts sound to those who do believe in Christ), and no doubt they influence some people as witnesses against Him. Or she will simply take what she wants to believe from Christianity, whatever conforms to what she thinks is true, and proclaim that Christianity is about a few main points Jesus made in the Sermon on the Mount, and that there is no point in taking the Bible as God’s Word because it was actually written by man, like every other religion.

So while it’s a pretty good article, I have to hope it’s sincere, and not to build up some credibility with evangelical Christians in order to try to influence some, particularly younger ones, away from Christ.

I love to watch her on Fox...with the sound off, of course.

Couple of observations:

1. Pretty sure I have read about KP's dating life in previous pieces. I don't care about her relationships.

2. Celebrating Christmas by exchanging gifts does not mean one is a Pagan - it's a recognition of the Birth of Jesus. She sets this up like a zero-sum game.

3. KP mentions her father took her to church every Sunday, yet states "It [Christmas] had next to nothing to do with the birth of Christ Jesus." Perhaps she is an example of how the church is failing. Where regular attendees miss the message....or she was not paying attention?

I typically do not read her pieces and give her little credence. It would be nice to hear what she is doing to celebrate the birth of Jesus - such as a season of giving, supporting charities such as Operation Christmas Child, or event participating in Advent.

Political positions
Powers supports universal health care, believing to be a moral imperative to supply health care to all Americans.Thus, she initially supported Obama’s health care reform but later became critical of its implementation. She lamented that the laws resulted in a doubling of costs: “if I want to keep the same health insurance, it’s going to cost twice as much.” She later opined: “A lot of people who have really been screwed over by the law [and] are left without insurance or with extremely expensive insurance”, and agreed with a Ron Fournier headline in National Journal, “Why I’m getting tired of defending Obamacare.”

She opposed the “don’t ask, don’t tell” on homosexuals serving in the military, supports civil unions for same-sex couples, and sees marriage strictly as a religious institution.

Powers opposed the Fairness Doctrine, and a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning.She also supports comprehensive immigration reform and providing a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants and favors gun control. She also supports closing Guantanamo Bay and transferring its prisoners to federal prisons.

Powers opposes the death penalty and supports the pro-life movement. She opposes elective late-term abortions.

Personal life
Powers briefly dated former Congressman Anthony Weiner in 2002, and remained his close friend after their romantic relationship ended. After initially defending him when the story of Weiner’s sexting scandal surfaced in May 2011, Powers later condemned his conduct and called for his resignation from Congress.

It's not everyone who gets a visit from Jesus in a dream (vision?)

That seemed to be the turning point.

Now I have read that she became a Catholic.

Now that doesn't make sense at all.
