I agree, if I ever decide to enter something "Christian" again it will not be anything Charismatic, Evangelical, Pentecostal or any of the rest of the "whoredom" that want to be a part of this "Shotgun Wedding" between religion and politics that we seem to be seeing so much of these days. It makes me want to puke.
FWIW: I find things like the Carter Center and the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation much more meaningful to me these days -- I think that these sorts of groups do great work. I support Carter Center and another private group that helps orphanages in Mexico. While I respect Bill Gates, I don't think he really needs my money :-).
