Tonight Barb and I watched the Hour. We watch this show quite a bit now. We really like this show which is hosted by George Stromboulopolus from the CBC. This show is all over the map spiritually, which I think is cool. They feature all sides of the story so to speak. Anyway, tonight they had Tony Campolo on. He was talking about how politics and religion have become glued together and how people in the states are being judgmental if one is a Christian and not a republican. He says that Christians are completely missing the point of the bible when they act in this manner. With over 2000 verses in the bible speaking about the poor, Campolo says that we are tragically missing the point of the bible and of Christ. What was really cool was how Campolo painted a picture of Jesus that was as accurate as any I've ever heard. He said that people will be judged not on their theology but on what they did for the poor. Jesus said, "I assure you, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me." Very good interview, funny as well!
