Interesting article - this is exactly the problem I have with the Christian right. It's so nice to hear someone being a Christian and actually acting like one! This is just an excerpt from the article - go to the link to read the rest. Peace, Bambi It is with a great deal of disappointment that, while doing research for a book Iâm writing, I discovered a darker side to these stores that deeply offended me as a practicing Christian and a follower of Jesus Christ. I started out looking for signs of political bias, as I was writing a chapter on liberal media bias, and wanted to find out if any political bias existed in Christian bookstores. Much of what I found was predictable enough. There are no less than eight books on Ronald Reagan, a half-dozen on George W. Bush, many dealing with his prayer life (one I found amusing: The Leadership Genius of George W. Bush: 10 Commonsense Lessons from the Commander in Chief, kind of like Maoâs Little Red Book), biographies on Condi Rice and Bill Frist, and many books by Oliver North. Harder to find are books by former president Jimmy Carter, who has put more walk in his Christian talk than the rest of these people combined. There are several books that lay out the Christian case biblically for war, but youâll probably have to go to Borders to find the Christian case against war.
