In response to Mr. Stromberg’s letter concerning the power mongering of the Christian Right, I am left with no facts, and a lot of empty accusations. If you’re going to condemn a group of people, please supply some fact! You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but please don’t insult a large group of people with vague, unsubstantiated claims.

I believe that you will find, as you adequately research this topic, that the number of greed goblins in positions of leadership is actually quite small. I am a Christian and have been involved in the church all of my life. I have seen a very small number of power mongers. I am a member of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), a multi-million member representing the beliefs of the denomination and I am thankful that they are working hard to get the beliefs of Christians recognized on a higher level. The majority of Christian leaders are not furthering their own beliefs, but rather representing the beliefs of their Christian followers. There are, unfortunately, a select few who abuse their leadership positions, but please do not generalize that this is the norm.
