Nominate your unhelpful Christian

Following on from the blog yesterday I have had quite an interesting mail bag and so I thought I'd ask you for your opinions.

Here are the categories and nominees thus far (feel free to add more and keep coming back as this is a dynamic page in that it will grow to reflect the nominations):

The issue :

1. The Rapture

2. Pathetic Prophets and wicked utterance brigade

3. Marginalised Christians

4. Young Earth

5. Prosperity Ministries

6. Burn a Koran Day

7. The Toronto Blessing

The Message:

1. Jesus returns on 21st May

2. Japan is God's enemy because . . . .

3. Look at us, we're being acted against because . . .

4. You're not a Christian if you don't believe in literal days of creation

5. Name it, claim it, feel it, heal it!

6. Intolerance is a Christian virtue

The Person:

1. Harold Camping

2. Fred Phelps

3. George Carey

4. Ken Ham

5. Benny Hinn

6. Terry Jones

7. Todd Bentley

Loads of room for more here - what do you think about the way we portray ourselves and 'preach' our subjective, skewed and sometimes contrary 'truths' to others?

I have to say that I was amazed at the response to this issue which I assumed was one of those 'just me' things. Once we're done with this (if it flies) I will post a poll and we can see who wins the awards and hopefully I'll have a better understanding of what's going on outside my own space as well.
