Isn't it funny, how the historically important churches are now shunted to the side in favor of new religious movements? <BR/><BR/>The largely conservative, single-issue evangelical/non-denominational/"born again" phenomenon is astounding. More Americans are familiar with the views of Rick Warren's Saddleback Church than the National Cathedral.<BR/><BR/>For example, most of the denominations on that list signed a statement opposing Proposition 8 in California. The Californian Presbyterian church <I>alone</I> is larger than the Mormon church in CA, but I didn't hear a word about it.<BR/><BR/>Sigh. That's life, I guess.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15764883285037843662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-1137713797614653302006-01-19T16:36:00.000-07:002006-01-19T16:36:00.000-07:00Buy my stuff or burn in hell!

It is so nice to see that the forces of negative advertising are alive and well.<BR/><BR/>And, of course, a bit ironic, given that the Protestant reformation had its roots in commercial sale of salvation by the Catholic Church (as the Protestants saw it).<BR/><BR/>Also, does anyone recall the time Jesus got really angry. Something about throwing the merchants out of the Temple. But, hey, clearly they weren't Christian merchants.<BR/><BR/>I'm just a Prophet, and I expect to die (aka perish) some day, so what do I know?Andrew Oh-Willekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02537151821869153861noreply@blogger.com
