"It’s tough enough trying to be a Christian in this secular world without taking misleading doctrinal advice from non–believers who deny the divinity of Christ.  

But some Christians obviously can’t resist because Hindus, Buddhists, Zen masters, Wiccans, pagans, fire worshipers, polytheists, agnostics, atheists and Unitarians continue their work of trying to get us to follow the “real” teaching of Jesus.

The latest advice comes from the religion columnist for the WaPost: Lisa Miller. Lisa is a conflicted Jew. The kind who goes to a Reform synagogue and says prayers for Israel, but her bizarre philosophy of moral equivalence leads Miller to believe Israelis are mean to Arabs. So she feels like it’s time to redefine the word “Israel,” at least for prayer purposes.

Fresh from altering the intent Jewish prayer, Miller turns to occupy Wall Street with helpful advice on how Christians should respond to this civic tantrum.

Lisa knows just how Jesus would have responded, had He spent a few days in Zuccotti Park: “Thus, (H)e might have sympathy for the various causes espoused by the campers (end hydrofracking, tax the rich, support unions, cap executive pay.)”

Poor Jesus, He never gets a break. Plagued by Pharisees during his own time – thrown among parasites today.

Miller’s non–divine Jesus is an advocate of what John Eldredge calls “wispy wisdom.” Christ becomes non–judgmental, vegan philosopher whose market beliefs are Karl Marx without the aggressive beard and class struggle.

Naturally Miller turns to Bart Ehrman for expert agreement. Ehrman’s a favorite of secular, non–believing reporters because he’s a former evangelical Christian who lost his faith over typos in the New Testament. Today Ehrman is an agnostic professor of religion and the go–to guy for reporters looking to enlist Jesus in the Socialist International.

Still, even cursory readers of the New Testament know Jesus did not spend a lot of time discussing investment strategy, although Matthew 25: 14–30 comes close.

Theologically it’s complicated, but the parable concerns a rich man going on vacation. He gives three of his servants ten, five and one talent of silver and then heads for the beach. When he returns, the master calls the servants to account. The ten–talent and the five–talent men invested and doubled their money. But the one–talent servant buried his for fear of losing it."

Just a thought! This Article doesn't belong in this Category, in fact this Article belongs in a new Category. "Propaganda!" Those who remember the 60's also remember the Communists and there Propaganda delivered by Huntley-Brinkley and Walter Cronkite nightly. Well guess what? "It's Back!" Now in the form of Liberalism. While I am at it, a section devoted to Obama is something to think about. His Disease is infecting not only this Country but the entire World. If left to continue he will destroy this entire World. Trouble is, no one will be around to record it!

Idiots lime this are everywhere!

The wave of progressives that ebbed into and subverted the Episcopalian's and Lutheran's etc have created thousands of apostate churches within Christendom.  Believers vote with their feet, so the apostate churches grow increasingly apostate and provide the environment for such idiocy to spread...

Jesus a liberal democrat?  Pah!  What poppycock!  Jesus would be a non-voting unaligned independent decrying the sins of all sinners, not picking sides!  Why don't these morons accept their true God-figures...Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Fidel, Che?  Oh, that's right, they're killers!

They'll never get Jesus, not the way they think...
We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.
