That being said, what the heck is going on in the mind of this idiot in Florida with his "Burn a Qur'an Day"?!!! I mean, really - what the heck are you thinking, dude?
I am firmly convinced that the core essence of being a Christian is to live your life in imitation of, and for Christ. The guiding principle here is succinctly expressed in the view, WWJD (that's "What Would Jesus Do", for the rare individual who is unfamiliar), and I am FIRMLY CONVINCED that there is NO WAY Jesus would participate in, condone or fail to verbally object to the burning of a Qur'an or anything else that other people honor and revere.
I am not allowed to question this man's Salvation, but I can indeed question his brains, his motives, and his ability to follow our Lord. He is making Christians look bad because, with the attention the media is giving this idiot, it almost appears that there are more than 10-15 people participating. His church has 50 members - total - and I sincerely doubt that all of them will participate. Which leads to my next question...
WHY is our media giving this...person...power he doesn't deserve?
This one-man crusade to offend millions is being heard around the world because our media is giving him the voice to reach that far. If the moderate Muslims are indeed moderate, this will certainly cause many of them to reconsider their moderate position. If they were ever inclined to learn anything about Christianity and Christians, this will change a lot of minds in the wrong direction. In a world full of hatred, this will bring even more.
I do NOT endorse this man's actions. I repudiate them, as a citizen of the US and as a Christian. He does NOT represent me, my Lord, or my country. May God have mercy on him for what he is doing.
