It amazes me that you continue to have a positive attitude despite the vicious attacks against you in recent days. You’ve been called a Judas, a member of the Axis of Evil, and an undercover liberal secularist. And yet you respond with grace.To be honest, I’ve often disagreed with you in the past, and probably will continue to do so in the future. But count me among those who are profoundly moved by your Christ-like behavior through all of this. Kudos, Kuo.

David Kuo, It amazes me how every detail is under scrutiny. They’re convinced their “gotcha” logic & “debate” style with sink you somehow, yet you’ve maintained honesty all along–in an era & religious culture that despises honesty. Also, thanks for deleting your previous thread. The steady stream of mean-spirited condemnation in the comments was becoming tiring and I began to worry that your blog was being derailed by attack dogs. That personal attacks and other baseless accusations are considered “legitimate” tactics of debate is quite sad indeed.

I actually first saw you on the Colbert Report of all places, and I was thoroughly impressed with you represented Christ. After reading your blog, I continue to be impressed with your attitude about things. Keep up the good work. I can’t wait to read your book!

Here’s a 100% off-topic comment: on the radio show On Point with Tom Ashbrook the other day, you spoke of the perception of “hostility” of Democrats to Christians. This is a common accusation, and I just do not get it. You gave two examples: Rosie O’Donnell and Terry McCauliffe. Rosie O’Donnell has roughly zero impact on the Democratic party and roughly zero following. The Terry McCauliffe anecdote reflected an appalling level on his part of ignorance of what’s going on in culture. But there’s no hostility in that anecdote. Isn’t every single prominent Democrat now and in history Christian or Jewish?

I’ve been reading John Wesley’s Journal (it’s three volumes!). In a secular and sensuous age he made the case for piety and true Christian charity, and was viciously attacked– at Oxford, while in Georgia, and after his return to England. Today, it is hard to understand why his message got people so upset. He was banned from preaching at one church after another. His followers were sometimes beaten, their homes destroyed, their lives threatened. By throughout, Rev Wesley steadfastly pushes ahead, saying what he thinks is right, trying hard to live up to the high standards he believed Jesus had set for mankind. He often struggled; he often had doubts. But he continued on, though he was mocked and despised by the 18th century Establishment. I have found Wesley’s commitment to be an inspiration, but had often wondered where Christians like John Wesley have disappeared to. Can the hard-hearted, bloodthirsty, materialistic ‘I’ve got mine’ Christians of today really imagine that their lifestyle is Christlike?David Kuo has shown me that some sincere Christians will take a stand for what they think is right, and will not compromise the truth for political expediency. I think that’s admirable.

“From Karl Rove, who said I served, “with grace and focus and terrific integrity.” David, are you sure he meant that as a compliment?

Found your site from “I’m a Christian Too”. I agree with Bob; I like you too. May not always agree, but I do respect you and admire your faith. Hang in there! Grace and Peace of Christ be with you!

After all was said and done and “Bob” with the big “Teamsters” hat and I talked he said he had been told that by VP Cheney’s Chief of Staff. *rolls eyes* yeah there’s a credible source.

dear mr. kuo, i just saw the c-span coverage of your book talk. having seen you on 60 minutes last sunday, i was very interested. i should specify that i have not read your book. i heard your deep concern about spiritual health. i am wondering how you feel about christians who believe that the rapture is imminent, and seem to be comfortable with the idea of nuclear incineration which we could avoid if we decided to do so. how can those who pride themselves on christian charity be so mean-spirited as to throw away this lovely eden-planet where we all now live, when many of us would be perfectly enchanted to continue to live here as long as we are naturally allowed to? what about the covenant of the ark? would god really look with favor on those who are willing to throw away his promise of continuing sun, rain and seasons?what about the tower of babel? does not this story warn us about the dangers of hubris, of empire? why would god admit to heaven those who offer monetary or political support to leaders who seem to be perfectly comfortable with the idea of the planetary abortion which nuclear war could easily bring? i have heard that true christians believe in the sanctity of life. can someone explain to me why the life of all the other species is less important that the life of one individual of one species? i have heard that true christians believe we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us. how can those who contemplate the possibility of nuclear annihilation with apparent calm think that others would really like to be done unto in such a way? is death like this really a moral value? what would jesus feel about the possibility of nuclear armageddon? what would be the meaning of heaven without its companion earth? how can those who honor the covenant that god offered to noah continue to pay taxes that pay for such instruments of death as nuclear weapons and for a government that thinks it’s ok for us to claim even space, even the heavens above for preemptive war? is it necessary for the falling of the next tower of babel to be as catastrophic as nuclear winter? before you dismiss me out of hand, take some time to read what would happen to god’s creation if this hair-trigger accident actually happened. if you think that just because the cold war is over that the danger is over, you are very sadly mistaken. please take heed. eden is at stake.

David I saw your piece on 60 minutes , I live in the Northern VA I hdeal with my sahre of politics. I likeyou had a brain tumor grade 3 anaplastic aastrocytoma suffered two grand mal seizures, suregery radiation and chemotherapy(Temodar) man lets bring some awareness to this diseaseGod Bless D Thomas

David, I found your blog sort of by accident. I had linked to the Beliefnet site because I subscribe and they are all that about their new format. You were on the side there and since I saw you on Colber(t) and 60 Minutes, I thought I’d come by. I am so glad I did. I am an evangelical but not conservative. I share your concern that Jesus has been hijacked and I understand political seduction.I admire anyone who takes seriously Jesus’ words to be IN the world but not OF it. I look forward to reading more of your posts. Hang in there; the naysayers will wear themselves out and go look for others to argue with mindlessly. Peace, brother.

I just watched your C-Span BookTV talk, actually for the second time. I was impressed by your personal story and your message that “you can’t serve two masters.” I was also impressed with your calm patience with the faux “Teamster” who tried to repeatedly bait you, during the Q-and-A session. He obviously didn’t realize that perhaps your bass fishing has taught you some political lessons, too. I admire your courage to write a personal story, your dignity in the face of the inevitable political attacks, and even your centered sense of humor. Most of all, I think I was moved by your sincerity. Much luck in the future!
