For John, BLUF: Religion not about God is religion about politics. Nothing to see here; just move along.
Here is a blogger who gets some very important points correct. One is that churches that go "progressive" lose members. As Blogger Jeffrey Carter puts it:
Traditional churches have made a business decision to go after a market decreasing in size.The progressives tend not to go to church.
But, Mr Carter (Points and Figures) also makes the point that by choosing to "disinvest in Israel" the Presbyterian Church (USA) has aligned itself not so much with God as with David Duke.
He provides us a link to a letter signed by both his Paster, John Vest, and a number of other Presbyterian Pastors that shows that not all are in favor of "disinvestment" as a solution to the issue of Israel and Palestine. "The Things That Make for Peace". Pastor Vest does not believe that it is an either or situation in the Holy Land. Nor do I.
And, when an individual congregation, or a national church organization, moves away from preaching God, into a "post-Christian" mode, it will eventually contract in membership, but I repeat myself.
People really do want to be saved, in this world and the next.
