It’s always interesting to me when Christians think censorship of other ideas is the best way to communicate “the truth.”

Alan’s thought reminds me of Henri Nouwen’s belief that power is not how Christians get ahead, at least in the long run. He writes, “The long painful history of the church is the history of people ever and again tempted to choose power over love, control over the cross, being a leader over being led.” He thinks of using power, in this case a boycott of Imax theaters, as temptation rather than wisdom.
I hear that Jerry Falwell wants to start up the Moral Majority again.
I might just have to start being cryptic and calling myself a “follower of the way.” haha.
