I decided to put this here, though it could just as easily go in the "Breaking News" forum. Moderators, if you wish, feel free to put it there.
Among other things, the hit piece by Eichenwald portrays evangelical Christians as homophobic right wing fundamentalists who believe an "unbelievable" Bible. Just for good measure, the "article" is illustrated with images of Westboro Baptist Church members making fools of themselves, along with Pat Robertson and snake handlers. So much for objectivity.
He calls us "God's frauds" and "cafeteria Christians" who pick and choose which Bible verses we will keep close and which ones we wish would go away, though I have to admit, I know some churchgoers like that. Doesn't necessarily mean they are Christians, however.
All in all, this is a deliberate butchery. He may as well have attacked us with an ISIS head-separating knife. I've always despised Eichenwald despite God's commands to love my neighbors. I've chosen to use him as a prime example of someone whom I'll have to love with the lvoe of Christ without really liking him in the least.
SBC President Al Mohler has an excellent response that beats the bejeebers out of anything else I could say.
Todd Starnes' American Dispatch: Happy 2015? Newsweek hit piece smears Bible, Christians
Newsweek is launching the New Year with an old school attack on the Bible and Christians. It was just the sort of holiday hit piece that we’ve come to expect from these anti-Christian pinheads.
I imagine the Yuletide season must bring about near celebrations in the hallways of Newsweek as writers giddily try to find new ways to defile the followers of Christ.
This year’s winner was Kurt Eichenwald – and he certainly spun quite a yarn – one truly worthy to be published in a magazine. Mr. Eichenwald is known around literary circles as a man of words – and he certainly used most of them in his verbose essay.
“The Bible – So Misunderstood it’s a Sin,” was the title of his treatise – of such import that editors demanded it grace the cover of the magazine.
