Evolution

I almost cried today. And is not because Emily still isn’t home. It’s because of this article. It is written by Frank Pastore, a radio personality on KKLA 99.5 in Los Angeles. He is a Christian talk show host who generally makes me frustrated whenever Emily makes me listen to him (He makes her mad too, but she likes to get made every once in a while… or something like that). Well, this article kinda did it in for me. It is so frustrating.
Pastore’s thesis is that moderate and liberal Christians, though to be fair he only refers to the “emergent church”, “don’t like truth, knowledge, science, authority, doctrine, institutions or religion.” Wow! If that isn’t enough to get a tear in your eye, well kick yourself and pretend. This is a pretty popular personality, who represents a good majority of conservative Christians, basically claiming that some other Christians are… essentially evil. Well, I’ll let you read the article yourself.
I just find it extremely frustrating that we Christians just sit here bickering and hurting each other. We don’t trust each other, and that is probably because we do not know each other. The camps do not form relationships, they just lob bombs over the dead zone and try to destroy each other via a barage of words. Yeah, that solves a lot.
Oh, and in other words, the Pope thinks evolution is valid. Yay!
