1. This is a very good idea!

It is nice to see this project. Bravo!

[guillaumeb]

2. Agreed.

Politics aside, it is a great idea.

[fierywoman]

3. I love this.

[guillaumeb]

4. I do also.

Acting as well as speaking out about the issues.

5. To me it's a version of "You are the change you've been waiting for."

[guillaumeb]

6. And not simply preaching, but following the example by feeding the hungry.

[fierywoman]

7. Real Christians, in other words!

[guillaumeb]

8. I agree with their way of living out their faith.

[fierywoman]

9. If only the Evangelicals would follow their lead.

[guillaumeb]

10. The prosperity Gospel is one factor, in my opinion.

12. It certainly makes rich people feel good about their riches.

That is a consequence of statements you've made.

[guillaumeb]

14. I disagree with their position.

[trotsky]

15. Yet their religious belief is just as valid as yours. n/t
