Clearly there are individuals who don't understand what the church teaches, or they think it's so limiting.

If a church offers no truth that is not available in the general culture - in, for instance, the editorials of the New York Times or, for that matter, of National Review - there is not much reason to pay it attention.

Churches should not be directly involved in politics.

There is a lot wrong with the church.

People don't come to church for preachments, of course, but to daydream about God.

And yet, you do not throw out some of the great minds of the Church - and people in Church history - and say they have no credibility because they committed a sin or made a mistake.

Unfortunately, the Church's position on most contemporary issues makes it hard to take them seriously.

I don't think we should focus on what church that person walks into .. I think we need to focus on what they do when they walk out of church.

Churchgoers in America are notorious for jumping into movements, even ideas that are hard to listen to. But when they actually have to change their lifestyle and do something about it, it rarely translates into action.

I don't want to just preach to the church. I feel like I have a broader message.
