I don't agree w/everything R13 says, but your response there is a copout.

When it's shoved in people's faces, and people on TBN or the 700 Club (I'm looking at you Pat Robertson), try to shape my everyday life through political lobbying--it becomes an issue I can't ignore and I can't simply turn it off. When they're attacking people who don't watch them and/or don't agree with them, then it goes past the purpose of Christianity, which is a loose term when applied to what they're preaching vs what normally ends up being their actions. We can't just "not watch it" when there's real-world ramifications of these people's words and actions on our lives. They're lobbyists with a satellite dish to transmit their agenda to the masses.

And before you or someone else asks "what actions are you talking about?", I think it's re-damn-diculous to ask someone for money in return for your prayers b/c you supposedly have some kind of inner-pipeline to God. That's not what Christianity is supposed to be about, and just another instance of why I believe in faith WAY more than I do any world-based religion. Anything having to do with man is inherently corrupt.
