Earn Money AND unPHILtered unPHILtered: The Way I See It

As an educated Christian, I'm not always sure what to make of Duck Dynasty. I don't have time to watch much TV, which just complicates matters. I don't like the "fanatical" branch of Christianity that is "holier-than-though" and hates certain classes of sinners. This is what I expected from unPHILtered, and I really wanted to ignore it until it slid down the best-sellers charts and died a slow death. But, curiosity got the better of me and I cracked the cover. Hallelujah! I was wrong. It seems that the "love the sinner, hate the sin" branch of Christianity IS winning; this is the spirit of Robertson's new book. In it he drives home a clear message: "Love God. Love Your Neighbor." For those who might not know, Robertson here is paraphrasing Jesus' words found at both Matthew 22 and Mark 12. He resonates this theme throughout his new book, and it is certainly one that's hard to argue with. If you hold on to the "Love Your Neighbor" tenet, that covers a multitude of problems that we have in society including: bullies, terrorists, war-for-oil, and a host of other evils.

He may simplify the problems and over-state his solution: "following Bible principles will cure all of our ills." He goes so far as to write: "All the miseries and evils from which men suffer--vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery, and war--proceed from their despising and neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible." This might seem over the top if it weren't for the fact that here he is quoting Noah Webster. You might think that people like Phil who "drink religious Kool-Aid" are all mindless idiots who don't think for themselves (thereby drinking neo-atheist Kool-Aid yourself, I might add)
