Just makes me want to know more about Thompson. Bible says you will know them by their LOVE, not their politics.

I scolded him for something or other, saying, "That's not a very Christian way to behave." Bewildered, the poor child said, "But Mom, we're not Christians. We're Episcopalians!" True Story. I swear. I think I've already posted it here twice but maybe it will be new to some. It is time for the periodic retelling of the Cute Thing My Kid Said, at about age nine.

I refuse to let Dobson hijack the term "evangelical" Christian. I consider myself and evangelical, meaning someone who aspires to bring others to Christ by befriending them, supporting them, loving them and sharing Christ with them. This gay hating, Family clinic doctor murdering, mean spirited faith that is contrary to the gospel is not evangelical Christianity in its pure sense. My friends in that spectrum need to spend more time in Matthew Chapter Five and less time misinterpreting The Revelation. I want to be even more radical.
