On NPR, today, they reported that the National Associations of Christian Broadcasters (i think that is the corect title) ousted their new preseidnt because he made remarks which seemed to indicate he thought too many Christians were being identified with a politicl party, namely the GOP, and that maybe they all ought to get back to the business of "saving souls" and not do so much politicking. Outrageous of him as far as some of them were concerned.

I heard some chilling words, not new, but still chilling, from one of the conservatives who wanted him out, as to how important it was for all Christians to be out there, in politics, and in every place else available, working on saving souls, yes, BUT more so, working through politics and the media to "bring the country back to its Christians roots" etc., etc. ad nauseum.

Interesting article. Thanks for posting it. Reminds me of one of my favourite bumper stickers: "God protect me from your followers."
