    Maybe we ought to be asking ourselves WHY???

    I believe the liberal media is one of the main reasons WHY. Christianity in general is being threatened in new ways on our own U.S. soil. If one were to listen to the mainstream media, you'd think that Evangelicals were growing two heads or something. Their viewpoint is different than most of ours, and rather than learning about our views, they'd rather slam them as ignorant, selfish and backwards. Many young people don't get a fair chance at learning what true Christianity is because so many are mis-informed. That group is more vocal than Christian groups, and there is too much political correctness circumventing any chances of Christianity having a louder voice.

    2nd anonymous description of liberals is how many see Christians. If you only listen to far right media, you have the same narrow view of liberals. I personally do not like unconstructive name-calling/finger-pointing from either side.

    Thank you, 3rd anonymous, for clarifying my point. Though I read, listen and view multiple media sources from both liberal and conservative streams, name-calling/finger-pointing was not my intention. Though, I am finding as I get older that simply having a "viewpoint" different than another's often gets labled as such.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
