Thanks for the post! I got the correct title for the Rob Bell book on "Love Wins . . .", which is a fascinating premise Jesus came to save ALL mankind, which I also believe. But it is unusual coming from an Evangelical preacher and started a real shytstorm from the "hell and damnation" crowd.
As for public schools "hurting" Christianity, the damn country is 85% christian and they whine about persecution all the time. At least the "fundamentalist pseudo-christians" do. Totally ridiculous. And I saw comments on how many of these fundie types are "dominionists" that think the US should be a theocracy. The frightening part is the politicians that buy into that and the fact of how many people actually support them. The schools are just one of the areas where they want to take over, it is throughout the legal system.
Scary. Time to head for Canada!
Blessings on your Journey!
