Exploiting Religion -

William Lobdell's journey of faith -- and doubt -- may be the most compelling spiritual memoir of our time. Lobdell became a born-again Christian in his late 20s when personal problems drove him to his knees in prayer. As a newly minted evangelical, Lobdell -- a veteran journalist -- noticed that religion wasn't covered well in the mainstream media, and he prayed for the Lord to put him on the religion beat at a major newspaper.

I have found that after leaving church and reading Jesus, which is by the way why we ultimately left, we were set free in a way. The church was encouraging folks here in the south to watch Fox News and pay attention to what's happening. I was horrified that the pastors would say such things in church. After reading, with my children, about Jesus and we came undone when the pastor said that the poor deserve to be poor and helping them would get in the way of the punishment that God is delivering unto them. This was absurd. The church needs to be a place where the Truth is told, not lies. The more we studied Jesus the more we found out that he was really anti-religion. Radical is one word that the Bible actually uses in describing him. Fox News constantly calls people names and behaves unprofessionally when they cannot answer questions in a truthful manner. In other words, when they are caught in a lie or half truth, which is what they have become masters of. Shameful....
