I really can’t stand it when good Christian people say stupid things. Recently, Presidential hopeful Michelle Bachmann was in Florida and made a statement, which truthfully was intended as a joke, that does not help the cause for Christ. Now, more than ever, Christians are under more scrutiny for being “crazy” than ever before. And it does not help when a person who is in the public eye, with cameras everywhere she goes says something so thoughtless and ridiculous than what she has said. Now, don’t get me wrong, Bachmann is not the only Christian in the public eye who has said crazy stupid stuff like this that does in no way help the Cause for Christ. It especially makes the job of a minister harder when we have to explain to people who have been turned off and calis to church and Christianity in general that you’re crazy and your statements don’t represent the church as a whole.
The entire theology of Christianity is based on love and compassion and does not in any way care about political affiliation, and it makes me extremely irritated when people running for public office make comments like that. If you haven’t heard what she said, I have included the youtube link below so you can watch and make your own call on it.
