He's an entertainer, he does go a bit far on some thing and doesn't necessarily present a totally accurate and complete view of Christian theology. Then again, I don't hold him accountable to doing that -- he's not a Christian!  The fact is, this makes me wince for two very different reasons. Number one, it disparages the Church, and I love the Church... as does Jesus, btw.  You can't do that without it hurting.  However, I also wince because WE who are a part of the Church have allowed this to become a real facet of how we're known in the world. It's not the only one, many are good, but there are many, MANY times when visible representatives of the Church have spoken things that don't accurately represent the character of Christ in us and we let it stand without public outcry.  We are known as judgmental of the world, which we should not be.  However, if the world saw us as judgmental of OURSELVES, truly correcting in love and for the sake of Christ's reputation, I believe we'd see VERY different perceptions of the Church.  It's time we started being serious about holding each other to account, for the sake of each other AND for the sake of the reputation of Christ and His church whom He loves.
