I wonder, if Jesus were on earth today, how would He be described.
All of a sudden, the "secular" and "secular left" labels are being applied -- in your pages and in the media in general -- to people whose beliefs are not in step with some of those who are conservative and religious. I have many friends, and loved ones, who are both conservative and religious.
I also have friends who are liberal and religious. And friends who are secular by definition, some conservative and some liberal.
I am offended and concerned at the demagogic and inappropriate labels some use for people who have views different from theirs. How much progress have we made in 2,000 years?
Let us honor our differences as a gift from God, rather than an excuse to falsely label others for political gain.

You go Brother Skip!
Testify the love of God to the people.
God doesn't belong only to the self-righteous or those who are so selfish they can't love their brothers and sisters despite differences of opinion. Help those poor sinners who condem their neighbors for political views that differ from theirs. Teach them to love their neighbors and understand that they don't own God or Jesus. Open their eyes so that they will see Jesus was a liberal and spoke out against the government. He was crucified for being a rebel and anti-establishment. He showed his love for all of us by speaking out against the injustice and corruption of a political and religious system. Love your brother. Love your sister. Love them when they speak against you. There you will find your salvation.
Peace and Love to You All,
Brother Love and the Gospel Train
Hooooooo! Hooooooo!
