I mean put yourself in the shoes of unbelievers of today for a moment.
There's plenty of history of the past in Christianity to make a person who knows not God to question....

They have no perception of God...and whenever Christians come out and come off as , well, you know, intolerant of others simply because "we" believe in God; as though you expect them to observe your piety....I mean ,

This is America..the first place in the World where people decide for themselves...how to live their lives.....
and I respect them that stand up to all the bullying from so called Christians..in our society where divorce is close to 50% among Christians of today if not adultery.and alcohol consumption is 47 billion among an supposed to be 80% Christian population...

What I'm trying to say is our credibility is shot..and to get it back we have to win it back and to do that we have to earn it...by doing what is written ourselves...that they may see our good works an glorify our Father which is in heaven...

Oh good grief! What has that to do with honest reporting?

I liked the idea and the event. I wish more would take place across the country. It's great to hear leaders talk about God and prayer. Definitely better than what we generally hear from them.

I haven't watched Perry speak before and don't want to question his sincerity, but I was a bit surprised as the trouble he had with the speech. You can tell through a person's delivery if it's something they're just reading or it's something that's deeply personal and believed.

Again, I don't want to start anything, but watching the video it looks like Perry is more reading from a script than delivering something personal that he really, truly believes in.

I don't think it was a coincidence that Perry announced his campaign for President a week after this event. I expect to see and hear more outreach from his campaign to the same evangelical voting bloc that W energized during his campaigns.

I don't get to decide what to report..I don't even care..what I do care about is Christians getting offended about it ..It's the world..what do you expect them to do...they belong to the devil...Have you prayed today for them, specifically the media ?

Do you want them to come to the knowledge of the truth just to trumphet about their biases..We have continous access to the throne of Grace..

they have a little bitty news paper or news org. We have the truth and the power of God..
