You don't even know. Then I realized that it would kind of stupid to get so worked up. But I still know what you mean.Chris Anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477122.post-10672046953899570182009-05-22T14:22:45.287-05:002009-05-22T14:22:45.287-05:00Yeah, Chris is an interesting fellow. For someone...Yeah, Chris is an interesting fellow. For someone so smart and learned, some of his views are illogical and anti-Biblical, to say the least. Needless to say, some of our debates haven't been particularly cordial, which is probably mostly my fault. I don't react well to people who say good is evil and evil is good... particularly when they claim to be Christians.<br /><br />I am amazed that anyone would honestly believe that Obama is a Christian just because he says he is. I could say I'm a rabbit, but if I look like a human, talk like a human, and do other human things, I'm probably a human. Obama says he's a Christian, but acts like he's not and has repeatedly said things to indicate that he has little idea of what being a Christian actually means.Dariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02041978011604967628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38477122.post-16276502579037496002009-05-22T10:30:19.546-05:002009-05-22T10:30:19.546-05:00I ready the whole article.

I like his optimistic outlook on things, and I think he is right about the article in question being more of a clarification than anything. <br /><br />I too distinguish Christianity from Christendom, although I don't usually use those terms in the same way; maybe I'll start. <br /><br />Some of the civil but nevertheless strong disagreements I have had with Chris at ZFT are largely explainable in light of this distinction of true Christianity. <br /><br />For instance, I commented that I did not believe our president is a Christian; that was on the basis of comments he had personally made, not even citing his own abhorrent ideas as a abortionist/eugenicist and all that. Chris basically argued that Obama is a Christian because he had attended Rev. Wright's church. I'm not kidding. He and I are often on two completely different wavelengths.Chris Anoreply@blogger.com
