A Pastor's View from Inside a Huckabee Rally
Pastor Bret McAtee recently attended a Mike Huckabee campaign rally in Michigan. He came away with his "worst fears realized" about the candidate and his fellow Christians who have gravitated to the former Arkansas governor:
"So here is the summary of the first observation. People, including Christians, so desperately want heroes that they will turn off rational thought once they decide, for whatever reason, that some person is going to be that hero. Secondly, the Christian community is no different from the non-Christian community when it comes to shallowness, practicing thought by emotion, and sheer unmitigated gullibility."
McAtee has a very interesting read, and his experiences are not isolated (as other Christians who don't support Huckabee can attest).
