That alone should be enough to convince you and anyone who is serious
that people who advocate such actions are NOT Christians. It's
similar to being pregnant, in that Christianity is an "either / or"
proposition. Follow Christ, or follow the world. You can tell who
these people are following by their deeds and attitudes.

Here's a possibility that you haven't considered: The leaders you've
outlined above are controlled by satanic forces using the cloak of
religion to deceive their followers. This kind of thing has been
going on as long as religion has existed! Jesus himself had pretty
harsh words for hypocrites like them.

I think we are agreeing on the same thing from two differing
perspectives, Todd. (This is often the case between you and I.) I
don't excuse the nefarious behavior of pseudo-Christians--people who
claim God's name yet deny his transforming power--it disgusts me as
much as it does you.
