A Challenge to Pat Robertson, Bishop Spong ... & Stephen Colbert

An invitation for Pat Robertson and John Shelby Spong to join us at the Big Tent Christianity celebration this September (BigTentChristianity.com). Or is there, according to these gentlemen, no longer anything that Christians share in common? And a challenge to Stephen Colbert to have Brian McLaren and me make this invitation from the Colbert Report -- whether seriously or for comic effect (or both).

This is bad reasoning. For words to have meaning you must agree to the law of non contradiction. You can call a red apple green but it doesn't mean the word red has lost its meaning - it just means you are wrong. The apple is red no matter how many times you call it green. Bishop Spong is in no meaningful way a Christian - he denies atonement and all major Christian doctrines. Just because he calls himself Christian does not damage the term Christian it just reveals that Spong is disingenious.
