Righteous among the Theists

[Taverner]

Name your favorite Theist

Mine? Mr Rogers. Here is a Reverend, doesn't mention god or the bible ONCE on his show, and tells ALL of us we are special JUST THE WAY WE ARE!

[Arugula Latte]

1. Bill Moyers

Ordained Baptist minister, yes, but kickass PBS liberal and critic of the corporate media, too!

[Taverner]

2. AND a dedicated Church/State separation warrior!

BTW....next time you argue with a Baptist, remind them that separation of Church and State is in their denomination's CHARTER

It's right there.

3. This is a very nice thread

I think we come here after we've been battered by some religious pinhead or other and have to unload. It's nice to have a reminder that they're not all pinheads and that some of them who have managed to get the point are some of the best people out there.

Moyers and Rogers are good examples. I'll throw in Jimmy Carter, who is fighting the good fight every day of his life, even when most people have thrown in the towel and are sitting home, reflecting on a long life and withdrawing into themselves as they prepare to leave it.

4. Bill Donahue

And those of his ilk, have done untold amounts of damage

[Taverner]

7. Ahhhh but PHIL Donahue did a lot of good

5. I know Warpy already mentioned him, but I really like Jimmy Carter

He's the epitome of what a Progressive Christian should be.

[Taverner]

6. Yep

My favorite modern President

[skepticscott]

8. Barry Lynn

Kicks ass in the church/state battles.

[Taverner]

9. Yep - head of AU

Of course, any believer of any kind should be for this separation

[Taverner]

10. Can't forget Michael Moore

He rubs some on DU the wrong way, but I love him

Lifelong Catholic

11. Bach

Well?!

His religious music transcends even religion.

[defacto7]

12. Nice thread everyone! n/t

[Jim Lane]

13. Dorothy Day.

According to her Wikipedia bio, the cause for her canonization is still open in the Catholic Church. I promise that, if they actually make her a saint, then, in penance for my sins, I'll go a whole month without making any reference to pedophiliac priests.

14. Stephen Colbert

Devout Catholic, expert at skewering religous hypocrites

[Arugula Latte]

15. I've posted this recently, but it bears repeating:
