I'm not really following the conversations, just had a relevant point with a political metaphor. The preacher used a really good analogy yesterday, Have you ever picked up sticks in a yard. Some are really bent, some are just a little crooked, but none are really truly straight. When you bundle them up one by one, they seem to form a straight bundle. Perhaps this is like politicians, grouping together to hide their crookedness in the hopes they appear straight and true.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
