Most muslims in Iran and other Islamic countries do not like Ahmadinejad.

You are correct.

Even putting aside the fact that Iran is Shi’a and the majority of the Muslim world is Sunni.

Iranians tolerate Mahmoud.

Demeaning another religion (religion of pieces), using Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as representative of the entire religion, prophecying that Islam will morality to take over America, and keeping a body count to throw at Muslims, is more evidence that many are clueless to what the gospel actually is.

The hatred for sinners juxtaposed against the love of America is unchristian. Most muslims in Iran and other Islamic countries do not like Ahmadinejad. This is not a war against Islam – THIS IS THE CALL OF THE GOSPEL TO PREACH THE GOOD NEWS OF CHRIST TO THE UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE WORLD!

Chrsitianity has changed, and not just in the liberal wing.

The devil is on death row and Jesus is saddling up!

If you are paying! That is the beauty/problem with comment threads, everyone has their own perspective. We must learn to participate with an emotional buffer zone. I have found a way to disregard those who disagree with the truth me.

For example, a person such as myself just mention a HINT of caution about HP with regards to SOME kids who MIGHT be overly curious about SOME aspects of it, which could lead to SOME problems — and instantly people read that kind of view as suggesting HP books should be burned and censored because if a kid even touches them, then they will become possessed. Odd. The same goes for many issues.

I’m just about ready to not say anything to anyone unless we are sitting down at a cafe and actually talking (might be a good idea for an article here).

I could walk into a coven complete with candles and incense and pentagrams and worship Jesus.

Weren’t those the famous last words of the seven sons of Sceva?

Seriously – there are problems more serious and demonic intrusions more destructive than HP but it doesn’t mean the issue ought to be ignored outright. A church should deal with greed and materialism, but that doesn’t mean it cannot deal with more “harmless” issues like HP. When this becomes the ONLY issue (because it’s an easy target) then there’s a problem.

For the record, my church never dealt with HP because it’s not something that was viewed as a threat – there’s much bigger fish to fry. My point is that neither do I advocate not addressing it if it might be an issue.

I remember in the Baptist church I attended a couple of years ago when the pastor addressed the Sunday morning crowd with a solemn air of importance. He said, “You all know I do not shy away from controversial issues and this morning I will boldly take a stand!”

I thought he would address divorce, or homosexuality, or apostacy, or even greed and hedonism in the church. No, he spent the entire morning on Harry Potter to the “amens” of those who agreed. He had succommed to the pressure of some of the church members who saw an easy target – Harry Potter.

This church was like many evangelical churches, divorce was rampant, much spiritual lethargy, greed and avarice, and in 2 months after this “controversial” message this pastor resigned because of adultery. But at least he took a stand againt the swath of destruction Harry Potter has caused inside and outside the church.

And like many of the ODMs, the controversial issues they “tackle” are never about their own sin and shortcomings, it’s always about some easy target that requires nothing more than talk on their part. I often believe the devil’s disguise looks more like God than he does like himself.
