Making Mountains Out Of Molehills
I think this story falls into the "anything for ratings" category. Here is the headline:
You know, on second thought, this is not "anything for ratings," this is "anything to make Christians look bad."
Radio Host Fired For Wondering If Pope Went To Heaven
But then you read the story:
Last week, Minto questioned some of the Catholic church's beliefs, such as purgatory, and fielded a question from a caller who asked whether the pope would go to heaven. Many evangelical Christians believe that someone must be a "born-again" believer to enter heaven.Sounds to me like the host gave a pretty good answer, although I would think a discussion of the Catholic doctrine of purgatory would be pretty dull.
Minto, who is also senior pastor of the 100-member Turning Point Community Church, said he told the caller that whether someone was born-again was personal and "between an individual and the Creator."
You know, on second thought, this is not "anything for ratings," this is "anything to make Christians look bad."
