Just when I start warming up to Campolo he goes off on a rant and squeezes my heart dry of all good will. He loses credibility with anyone who knows just a little of evangelical history when he lauds Finney; and when he equates what he is doing with what Finney did he makes me want to run as far from what he is doing as heaven is from hell. Wise up, Campolo, and conservatives might give you a hearing. Until then, we just have to think you belong over there with Al Gore's global warming. Truth is never convenient; you can't play loose with truth regarding Finney and think that truth you tell about social issues is not just as loose.

If Campolo is a liberal, sign me up. :-) Except the Finney part, I agree with ZwCephas above on that count, still always a pleasure when Campolo is on.
