John Edwards is just as bad. I hate those people. It's one thing if you're nuts and you actually think you're a psychic, but I think that both Edwards and Brown are giving cold-readings, manipulating people, knowing full-well that they're scam artists.
Oprah, I don't take issue with, as much. She endorses some true dipshits on occasion, but I think that she's just getting duped herself. I don't think she has ill-intentions.
Oprah is just one example of what Christians see as a danger to faith. I don't think she has ill intentions either, as most people who aren't Christians don't, but she is a little dangerous because of her following and influence ... which I think we can agree is huge. It's not her show, it's her theology. She sells herself as Christian but is far removed from it and that is what is dangerous for people who are following her. She really falls into new-aged. Just because a person or something is deemed dangerous by Christians does not mean they are a threat to society in the worldly sense. This is just one example.
OPRAH WINFREY "
Well, I am a Christian who believes that there are certainly many more paths to God other than Christianity." By the vary nature of this statement you can't be a Christian as one of the doctrinal issues spoken by Jesus is
"I am Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me. There is no room for interpretation on this for a Christian. She may not mean to but by this statement alone she can lead many innocent people down the wrong path. It doesn't make her a bad person by the world's standards but she is obviously a threat to Christian beliefs. Does that make sense?
There is a Christian song (several years old) that says "When will people turn to Jesus, and stop asking Oprah what to do?" Sorry . but it popped in my head while I was writing this.
