Here I thought it was just being a Bible Believer.

Either way, it's clear that the sentiments of many church goers are unbiblical. Not too many years ago to Comprimise was considered a bad thing or cowardly. Today, it's considered one of the highest virtues.

If he felt the subject matter was going to be difficult, he should have attended to oversee and guide through the difficulties.

Wow.
Actually I live in New Hampshire and while I was organizing books for my class fundraiser some of the English teachers where talking about this and they said it had something to do with portraying Christians as bad.
But truthfully it's saying things against Christ, not Christians.

Agreed. But doensn't all of this reaction sound like christians are trying too hard to protect their new idol of technology. Seems like if you even suggest that the use of cell phones texting, computers, and ect. should be moderated by biblical principles, that people start getting nervous. They immediatly start crying "Legalism" and state how all thechnology belongs to God anyway.

I went to our local college theatre last night to listen to him, it was a lecture called: "Why I am not an atheist." During Q&A someone asked to the effect of creation and I wasn't satisfied with the answer, so I went to talk to him after.
Mr. Bannister believes in a long earth creation and not in the literal six days. He also leans more towards the gap theory.
But he did say that Ravi Zacharias himself, is a young earth creationist. So, I was surprised that Bannister did not seem to see creation, as a vital component in his arguments against atheism. Further, that he didn't share the same views on creation as Ravi Zacharias.

Notice the shallow appeal to civic "reputation" & vague spirituality, rather than to Scripture.
So if "spirituality" really matters, then why aren't these pious clergymen instead protesting that the restaurants are open at all that day?
My guess from observation: church people like restaurants open for Sunday lunch (thus making it difficult for employees to attend services).

I pray that Pastors who find that their churches are into Helloween, will be able to steer those churches into the truth. The churches in the Midwest and the South have allowed and embraced the cultural aspect of Halloween for so long, that Pastors are viewed as Fanatical when they try to educate their people about it.
