Actually, Bill, Christianity is what the Bible says it is. It is actually possible for all lines to have it not fully right, and to have their understanding clarified and standardized by an insightful teacher in the future... I could easily name some doctrines that have been formalized in the last two centuries that I feel are accurate explanations of what the Bible teaches. Those who worshiped before, and had not learned these things did not (in my opinion) see as clearly as we are now able to. They weren't wrong, they were only missing some insight. But the Bible was right all along.

Predictably, the "Restoring Honor" rally on the National Mall last Saturday has evoked a lot of consternation.

Because the rally explicitly and studiously avoided trumpeting a political agenda, it freed up a lot of people to fill in the blanks themselves. For instance, Greg Sargent of the Washington Post insists it was all a con: "As high-minded as that may sound, the real point of stressing the rally's apolitical goals was political." By leaving the listener to infer an anti-Obama agenda from all of this talk of lost honor, host Glenn Beck was practicing "classic political demagoguery."

So...
