That sounds exactly like McLaren, and it's about time he owned up to the fact that he's happy to deconstruct Christianity to the point that the church is no longer effective. His blind followers are just spiritual lemmings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591706.post-49578863764303019382007-06-14T09:35:00.000-04:002007-06-14T09:35:00.000-04:00scott,Never mind; I found it.

Meaning, Brian is saying the age old "All roads lead to God". Clearly, by numerous statements he's made, he's not about removing the message of Jesus, but rather putting it into it's proper context. The fact that such a thing was posted, means they are trying to stir up controversy about it.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05680222237840480155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591706.post-5712438081006212732007-06-12T14:07:00.000-04:002007-06-12T14:07:00.000-04:00When I watch most of the news, and much of what I ...When I watch most of the news, and much of what I read, I try to keep in mind the question "What if this were true?"<BR/><BR/>We have had numerous examples of media making stuff up (Dan Rather. stephen Glass, Jason Blair) altering photos (Reuters) and the like.<BR/><BR/>It is truly disgraceful.Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10162953943510940095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591706.post-5477018607586647632007-06-12T07:39:00.000-04:002007-06-12T07:39:00.000-04:00Thank you Steven!Thank you Steven!DGHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243352874886702567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591706.post-36217110820064972622007-06-12T00:21:00.000-04:002007-06-12T00:21:00.000-04:00I think much of the untrue rhetoric that gets blow...I think much of the untrue rhetoric that gets blown around is more a reaction out of fear of losing those rigid certainties and categories that much of Christendom is trying to hold onto. thanks for posting this, it's good that Brian responded so quickly and concisely.John Santichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750284778652685375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591706.post-90076298911692722742007-06-12T00:11:00.000-04:002007-06-12T00:11:00.000-04:00thanks virgil and I appreciated your getting the w...thanks virgil and I appreciated your getting the word out on your blog.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10238745383108764223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591706.post-70832220376947312932007-06-11T22:19:00.000-04:002007-06-11T22:19:00.000-04:00This is really embarrassing; as as a Cedarville al...This is really embarrassing; as as a Cedarville alumnus (CDR Radio is the station of Cedarville University) I find this kind of bogus reporting really troubling.
