There's an email list that I'm on. Recently someone sent out a chain email about all the horrible things Kathy had said and how they would never again watch anything she is on. And, of course, people started responding. They called Kathy a female dog. They made fun of her looks. They trashed her completely and totally. This was done by people who claim very loudly to be Christians.
All I could think was that God loves her equally as much as He loves them.
Kathy isn't a Christian. She doesn't claim to be. So, why should anyone be surprised when she doesn't speak as they think a Christian should speak?
The bashing has bothered me for days. And, in the past, I would have responded to the hateful emails, but I learned the hard way that pointing out a different response or suggesting a different view is not tolerated. So, I'm venting on here.
John 13:34-35
Why stay on the list? Every now and then beauty does come through.

Not Surprised, But Ticked Off Anyway
I wasn't surprised to see the outcome of the survey Anne talks about here and yet, I'm still majorly ticked off. And I wonder if there is any hope that people will change or adapt their views.
Maybe reading these might help:

I mean, really, Conservative Religious Activists surveyed showed more concern about immigration than poverty! If this is true then please refer to me as a progressive activist.
I need to stop gritting my teeth now.

Programs Over People, Entertainment Over Ministry
It warms my heart when I see a church leader put the wants of a program over the needs of hurting people. Joy flooded my soul today as I learned that the opportunity to minister to many was passed over to make a way to entertain a few. Being the church just doesn't get any better than this.
