	A Voice from the Christian Left
		For many on the “Christian Right,” the “non-negotiable” moral issues in the election were reduced to abortion, gay marriage, and stem cell research.
		As to gay marriage, a colleague of mine put it best when she pointed out that Christians disposed to oppose it most vocally were generally those whom it was least likely to affect in any direct way.
		As a Christian teaching at a Christian college, wife of a Christian pastor, I am appalled at the irresponsibility, ignorance, and self-righteous posture of those on the “Christian Right” who support these atrocities.

	Theological and Political Views of the Christian Left
		As discussed earlier the Christian Left and the Christian Right are not greatly different in size depending in part on an arbitrary partition of Catholics in the country into the Christian Left and the Christian Right, a partition that is more difficult to make than is the case for Protestants.
		To add to the lunacy of the Christian Left, the Bishops of the Church of England, seemingly oblivious to 1500 years of off and on Islamic jihad, and the horror and evil of Saddam Hussein’s regime have called on all Christian leaders in Great Britain to apologize to Muslims for the war.
		Christian beliefs as stated in the Apostles and Nicene creeds and the Definition of Chalcedon of 451 AD simple cannot be proven empirically with the tools of science nor can the existence of God.

	Why I Left Christian Science (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Christian Science ignores the Lord's own institution of His supper and instead substitutes a “spiritual breakfast.” The institution of the Lord's supper, as well as baptism we are expected to observe as obedient children bought by the Lord Jesus Christ.
		Christian Science, inspired by the malicious spirit of Satan, seeks to rob you of your peace with God, cheating you out of your eternal welfare and happiness by suggesting that the only salvation is that you suffer for your sins and by your own works gain that salvation.
		Christians he tests either because they are out of fellowship with God thereby stepping out of the straight and narrow way, or because of divine permission as with Job the servant of the Lord.

	Christian left - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stemming from egalitarian values from a Christian perspective, adherents of the Christian left consider it part of their Christian duty to take actions on behalf of the oppressed.
		In the United States, members of the Christian Left come from a spectrum of denominations: Peace churches, elements of the Protestant mainline churches, elements of Roman Catholicism, and some parts of the evangelical community.
		The Christian Left does not seem to be as well-organized or publicized as its right-wing counterpart.

	Christian Zionism, Left Behind and Rapture - Christian Education on the theology and politics
		The struggle in challenging the impact of Christian Zionism through education is its entrenched and insidious nature, the complexity and complicity of its impact, and the cultural dynamic of religious and political polarization.
		The key to challenging the impact of Christian Zionism, and in particular the relationship between the Holy Land and the United States, lies in intentional education.
		Christian Zionism which calls Christians to unconditionally support right-wing Jewish Zionists in their efforts to occupy all of Palestine, even if these efforts result in explicitly or implicitly repudiating the teachings of Jesus.

	Evangelical left - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Evangelical left is a term used to describe those who are part of the Christian evangelical movement in the USA but who generally function on the left wing of that movement, either politically or theologically, or both.
		While the evangelical left movement is related to the better known Christian left, those who are part of the latter movement are not always viewed as evangelical.
		Typically, members of the evangelical left affirm the primary tenets of evangelical theology, such as the doctrines of Incarnation, atonement, and resurrection, and also see the Bible as a primary authority for the Church.

	Left Behind. A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		Left Behind was released in the US on February 2 on 874 screens, and hit screens in Canada early March.
		I decided to read the book Left Behind before viewing the movie, already knowing that when you have a series of books that have such an insight to detail and emotions, that the movie usually is unable to reflect this the same way to the viewer.
		As a filmmaker and a Christian a year from graduating film school, this topic is of utmost importance to me and my verdict on what value the books and film have is still out.

	BACKERS SEE "LEFT BEHIND" CHRISTIAN THRILLER AS CHANCE TO BREAK INTO THE CULTURAL MAINSTREAM
		Most rapturists are "pre" or "mid" Tribulationists, but there are many Christians (including the so-called Reconstructionists) who believe that the faithful must hunker down during the seven years of the Anti-Christ's bloody reign, and then join the returned Messiah in settling accounts and ruling over Earth during the Millennium.
		What renders "Left Behind" a leap ahead of these films, though, is what industry insiders refer to as "crossover." Cloud Ten Pictures spent $17.4 million on the LaHaye/Jenkins film adaptation, and aimed the plot at a core audience of religious believers as well as a secular audience hungry for spiritual themes.
		Ironically, pre-millennialist Christians are the most energized religious-political group in the nation, and the certainty that rapture is just around the temporal corner puts little restraint on the urgency to convert as many Americans as possible into accepting the creed of Biblical literalism.

	A Voice from the Christian Left \| CrossLeft (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Among those who are mournful and angry about the outcome of this election, doubtful about the integrity of the process, and opposed to the neoconservative agenda are Christians who believe the name of Christ is being pressed into service to market a political agenda impossible to align with the ethics, mission, or character of Jesus.
		Many thoughtful Christians recognize the moral complexity of these issues and the need for careful reflection on the contexts of biblical guidelines invoked in discussion of them.
		As to gay marriage, a colleague of mine put it best when she pointed out that Christians disposed to oppose it most vocally were generally those whom it was least likely to affect in any direct way.

	Christian Prisoners Left Alone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Left behind in the rush of Westerners leaving Afghanistan, before a possible U.S. attack in retaliation for the Sept. 11 assault on New York and Washington, the eight foreign relief workers remain on trial for their lives, accused of trying to convert Afghan Muslims to Christianity.
		During last week´s U.N. pullout, the three diplomats representing the Christian relief workers were ordered by their governments to leave Kabul.
		The alleged "crime" of the relief aid workers could, under Islamic law, carry the death penalty, although the Taliban leader decreed earlier this year that any non-Muslim caught preaching Christianity would be imprisoned for up to 10 days and then be expelled from the country.

	Why I Left the Christian Church (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The name, "Christian Church" is not found in the Bible, no, not even once, and be it said to their credit, many of the most brilliant men, preachers and leaders in the "Christian Church", contend it is unscriptural and refuse to wear it or use it.
		"The Christian Courier." This journal is the official organ of the Educational, Benevolent, and Missionary enterprises of the "Christian Churches" in Texas.
		Please note that Brother Hamner, secretary of the "Christian Courier", which is the official organ of the~ organized missionary benevolent and educational work of the "Christian Church" in Texas, heartily endorses "Dr." Morro's manner of conducting the "division of questions and answers in the Courier", by pronouncing it "so Ably" done.

	Freethought Weekly: To the Christian Left
		She's a christian but her fiance is an atheist, so I figure a group led by someone like her is most likely to be able to bring us together.
		There may be other great christian left groups out there as well that we should look into.
		Someone who professes to be a christian but doesn't appear to care at all about your interpretation of what the bible teaches, or someone who simply doesn't believe in jesus but otherwise has the same views that you have.

	Don't Be Afraid of the 'Christian Left' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The so called christian left are co-conspirators in 40,000,000 murders, yet snivel out loud about the 30,000 dead in Iraq, even though hundreds of thousands of lives are being saved in the process.
		The "Christian" Left's embrace of the American Holocaust, with over 30 MILLION babies murdered since the travesty of Roe V Wade causes the Left's claims of moral high ground regarding social justice to ring hollow and hypocritical...and to lend credence to those who say they are not Christians at all.
		The "Christian Left" will be left to their own devices and be destroyed because they will not follow or acknowledge God's will completely.

	Townhall.com::Why the 'Christian Left' is not::By Kevin McCullough
		For the Christian Left to claim connection to true Christianity is to deny its leftist tendencies and for them to claim connection to the aims of the political left is to deny its Christianity.
		The American political left believe that only Americans should have the right to live in freedom, thus their hesitation and belligerence in advancing freedom in other corners of the globe.
		For biblical Christians to associate themselves in any way with the progressive leftists in America today is to associate oil with water.

		Raised Christian but now identifying myself as Unitarian, I have long been struck by the smallness of Jesus – no, not small in any physical or inferior sense, but small in an unassuming sense; small enough to fit inside each one of us and yet be noticed by so few of us.
		A leader who claims war as his providential mission is a leader whose Christianity, as well as that of his followers, needs to be born yet-again.
		If the Christian Left is to win this 21st century conflict, we cannot let anyone steal the Jesus we know.

	The religious left. - By Steven Waldman - Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The political left "often sees religion not merely as mistaken but as fundamentally irrational, and it gives the impression that one of the most important elements in the lives of ordinary Americans is actually deserving of ridicule," complains Rabbi Michael Lerner in his new book, The Left Hand of God.
		While the religious left generally shares a disgust with the religious right and the secular left, in many ways they are not entirely unified.
		I'm all for any movement that gives the Left back its moral authority (the fact that it ever got taken away is a testament to the genius of the Right's spin machine), but I do have some reservations about turning the show over to the Religious Left in an effort to regain that authority.

	(DV) Moses: King and the Christian Left
		In each case there were right wingers and left wingers then, and in each case there are right and left wingers still.
		I'm more concerned about what happens in a country that is 80 percent Christian when left activists refuse to pay attention to the Christian left, simply because it is Christian.
		In terms of hardball shrewdness, if nothing else, a leftist rejection of the Christian left in America is a certified guarantee of defeat.

	Here's What's Left: The Christian Right and the Honesty problem
		Since the Christian Right thinks it did so much to help Bush get elected this time, they seem to be getting a little full of themselves.
		Let's hope that when the Christian Right agenda is revealed to be as hate-filled as it is, an agenda that can only exist through a series of calculated media distortions, there will be a backlash.
		The left strategically has to decide if they are going for 100% or 0% solutions (the all or nothing approach) or do they go the incremental approach.

		It was a book that made it okay for Christian men to read fiction, once mainly the province of women and sometimes condemned from the pulpit as evil or at least a distraction from more productive pursuits.
		And it was that rare cultural phenomenon—a book that millions of people knew and talked about, whether or not they had read it, or its sequel, or the other books that followed in its wake.
		Left Behind unleashed an unprecedented publishing tsunami of nine adult novels (thus far) with sales of 30 million copies.
