Good Bye
Today is my last day at Beliefnet (which I co-founded in 1999). The swirling emotions: sadness, relief, love, humility, pride, anxiety.
But mostly deep, deep gratitude.
How many people get to come up with an idea and have rich people invest money to make it a reality? How many people get to create

My Big News
Dear Readers,
This is the most difficult (and surreal) post I've had to write. I'm leaving Beliefnet, the company I co-founded in 1999.

Secularizing the Cross (Christian Activists: Be Careful What You Wish For)
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments this week, in Buono v. Salazar, about whether a white 6 1/2 foot cross can be displayed in a national park as a tribute to World War I soldiers. Though it's depicted as a classic clash of the secular and the religious, it actually illustrates why Christian act

Tom DeLay is right, it’s obvious Sarah Palin is a woman with a worldview–but is he saying that bad choice is a blessing? (In that case, the country certainly has been blessed these past few years.)Could you please let us know what was behind the ellipsis?

Wow, as a Christian I see the only way my conscience will let me vote is for Barack Obama. As a Christian I don’t feel politics is the way and have never seen a politician reflect a Christian worldview. However, I finally have hope with Obama. For the first time in my life I am actively contributing to a political campaign. Finally a Christian politician that reflects the values of the poor.
Now, I actually like McCain. But as a non-profit worker for a Christian ministry I was so deeply offended by Sarah Palin’s put down of community organizing, and then laughing and smirking. Wow, if McCain wants to win Americans I wouldn’t suggest his running mate put them down. Tose active in the community are more likely to vote. When you put us down we’ll more actively go out and organize against you. I thought that if the Republicans happened to win the country would be ok…before Palin.
Too bad, he did a good job picking Cindy. Should have looked a little bit harder for a running mate…

I believe that Sarah Palin has a correct Christian world view and Barack Obama doesn’t. A real christian with a real christian world view could not possibly vote for Barack Obama. Obama is for murdering unborn babies and for the homosexual agenda and Sarah Palin is not. I’m afraid that we have a country full of people who call themselves christians that are deciding for themselves what they want the Bible to say instead of actually reading the Bible correctly, or for that matter, reading the Bible at all.

Thank you for your comments.
J, had it not been for the community organizing comment would you be voting for McCain? I’m curious what kind of christian ministry you’re in. Would you describe yourself as a “evanengelical” or “born again” or something else (“mainline”?). I know these terms are somewhat meaningless in people’s real lives but I’m just trying to get a handle of where you fit in the landscape.
