And I don't doubt that there are people behaving poorly (from any side of an issue). We're humans. We want what we believe to be true to be heard. <BR/>I am SO tired of "liberal" Christians speaking to and about "conservative" Christians as though they are foolish, simple-minded or fascists. And I am SO tired of "conservative" Christians speaking to and about "liberal" Christians as though they are snotty, fragile-faithed, or elitist. <BR/>But that's not really the point. <BR/>The point is -- we can only control our own actions and spending the little energy and resources our denominations have available to refute or attack "the opposition" is ridiculous in my mind. <BR/>There's this great old adage that comes to mind -- something about actions speaking louder than something...oh... it'll come to me...<BR/>Yeah, so what if the IRD is targeting mainline denominations. If the people in the pews knew why the leadership is pursuing their theological stands AND more importantly, saw them actually DOING the theology they profess, the issue with IRD and similar groups would probably fix itself.<BR/>Or it wouldn't and we'd have to let God deal with those little buggers.
