Recently a mate said that I seemed angry while I was preaching. A lot does make me angry but I also know how shallow I am. Angry and Shallow sums me up in a lot of ways. So as an angry and shallow man I will be making weekly (or maybe more often) comments on things I think we need to face and that I want to say. I also want to hear what you think about them.

It's been a while since I posted here. In that time I've been to dangerous stories with Forge www.forge.org.au in Melbourne (Excellent), Singapore taking a course with youth and social workers there and trying to catch up on the stuff that needs doing here.
I've also been watching with interest the Republican and Democratic contenders for the USA Presidential race. The latest time magazine has some brilliant articles on it including the fact that it is at this time of the year that all the Republican contenders seem to court the Evangelical voters. To do this they all' come clean' with some evangelical leader such as James Dobson or Jerry Falwall. They 'confess' their failings in the area of affairs, marriage breakdowns and get declared clean' by these leaders thereby ensuring the vote of the Christian right.
When compared with the Democratic candidates the Republicans are more unfaithful to their marriage vows, have been married more often and have had more affairs yet now they are 'clean' they are ok to vote for. The Democrats are not an option as they tend to be pro choice and pro gay.......these terms are not actually helpful as they actually mean they believe in letting women decide on abortion (as opposed to necessarily being pro abortion) and having equal legal rights for same sex couples.
What rubbish! The Christian right are corrupt, deceitful and need to remove themselves from the political power they have....they won't though....the power is addictive.
Sadly I see similar things coming into the NZ christian scene. More on this another time....I have to go on another camp.

    How slick is Obama? Once again the face of Christianity is well dressed, well spoken, and almost a little to good to be true.

    Darryl,

    Just read you notes over at Signposts. Whoa brother! I'm sure that would've offended some folks. . .

    Karl,

    I hope no politician every becomes the face of Christianity. .. unfortunately the media may have already made this happen. Sad.
