I can be sad regarding both.

(And, I’m not claiming to be particular righteous of my own merit.)

1. In his limited time on earth, Jesus was more a totalitarian, than a democratic leader. He was not given power by election, but based on the belief that he was divine and his words became law, not unlike other totalitarian leaders.

2. Kathy’s career is all about mocking and making fun of others, I applaud this as a part of the rights of free speech and I’m often sad that we are able to say whatever we want as long as it agrees with the religious right. The mention that if she had said about Muslims is flawed, she’s making fun of people who praise Jesus, not Allah, as I’m yet to hear someone win an Emmy and praise Allah. I think that Christians with an open mind could applaud her too… Rap stars that praise Jesus for their awards or record sales make a mockery of what Jesus is about in the mind of most Christians.

3. Don’t be sad for someone who rejects God, be sad that the people that are in the spotlight that have ‘accepted’ God often become so succumbed to Dogma that any rational person could, would, and perhaps should reject that Dogma, as it is as far from the point as no faith at all. Be sad also for the fact that for as much good that you could do to spread your ‘good faith’, you are associated with those like Ted Haggard, Jim Baker, Jimmy Swaggart, and Jerry Falwell. I think Christians would rather Kathy reject Jesus, than the above mentioned being associated with him.

Or did you think I stupidly missed the point of her satire?

Let me repeat. I am sad that Kathy has rejected God. And, I am sad because most Americans seem to have rejected God. And, I am sad because television in 2007 makes this painfully clear.

Kathy can say what she wants. The truth hurts.

We have a big disconnect in communication here.

And 3 of the 5 have pretty unambiguous written dogma condemning idolatry, so it’s exceedingly difficult for anyone to find support for idolatry in the *written* dogma. But you are right — people descend into idolatry despite all of the warnings and prohibitions.

“I wonder how these militant evangelicals would feel if a confessed serial killer said, ‘nobody has less to do with my murders than Jesus’ ”

Please don’t take a few militant evangelicals out of proportion. Fox News is manufacturing controversy here, and probably most evangelicals could not care less.

Personally, I feel sad because Kathy appears to be rejecting God. I am sad on her account. But, angry? How absurd. The church does not want or need an endorsement from a secular TV actress.

You know, since I became a Christian, I have not been filled with joy. I have been full of sorrow. We are slouching towards Gomorrah. It seems that so many people are going to die in sin.

Oh wait, that’s not true.
