As a progressive Christian it is often difficult to watch those who take the bully pulpit in the name of Christ but apparently forgot to bring Jesus along for their ride.

The stunning events of today should give all Christians a reason to pause and remember that we need to be ever so vigilant in who it is that we choose to follow.

That aside, no one can discount the clout Robertson has in Christian circles.

Budget woes impoverishing generations of people? Nope, doesn’t matter. Endless wars killing hundreds of thousands of God’s creations? Nope, doesn’t matter. Raping of the environment, pillaging our educational system, kids without healthcare, genocide in the Sudan? Nope, doesn’t matter

Christians were led to believe that the only issues that would matter to Jesus Himself, would be gay marriage and abortion.

They have embraced a political agenda over the agenda of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ deserves better than the hypocrisy of man.
