interesting article

I don't want to comment on this article too much, but it's an interesting read about the church and politics. I can't comment on whether I agree or disagree on all the points. Honestly, I don't know exactly what I think, but it's something I know a lot of people are thinking about on some level.

I can identify with one quote by Brian McLaren on the "dominance of the evangelical identity by the religious right:"

“You cannot say the word ‘Jesus’ in 2006 without having an awful lot of baggage going along with it. You can’t say the word ‘Christian,’ and you certainly can’t say the word ‘evangelical’ without it now raising connotations and a certain cringe factor in people."

That should at least make you want to think about it.
