This Guy Might Run For Governor of Alabama? Charles Barkley Makes Bigoted Anti-Christian Remarks -- The Christian Anti-Defamation Commission Calls for Apology
Charles Barkley Makes Bigoted Anti-Christian Remarks -- The Christian Anti-Defamation Commission Calls for Apology
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 17 /Standard Newswire/ -- "Charles Barkley revealed an unfortunate lack of understanding of the Bible and Christian morality by attacking pro-life and pro-family conservatives as 'fake Christians,'" said Dr. Gary Cass, Chairman and CEO of the Christian Anti- Defamation Commission. "Barkley rips one phrase of the Bible from its context, and then asserts that anyone who is opposed to abortion or gay marriage is a 'fake Christian.'"
Dr. Cass continues, "We respect Barkley as an expert on basketball, but he is obviously not an expert on Christian moral theology. The Christian Anti- Defamation Commission calls on Barkley to apologize for his hateful remarks. We are hopeful that he will do the right thing."
Former NBA great Charles Barkley made his remarks in an interview on CNN with Wolf Blitzer. When Blitzer asked Barkley to clarify his remarks, Barkley made it clear that he did not misspeak. According to Barkley anyone who judges another person's actions is wrong.
"For Barkley to think that Christians cannot have an opinion about matters of public policy and personal morality is astonishing," said Cass. "Jesus forbids judging by hypocritical double standards, but he requires Christians to make just and sound judgments everyday according to biblical precepts."
"Ironically, Barkley engaged in the very activity of judging others that he condemned in conservatives. Barkley's words reveal an unfortunate, irrational anti- Christian bigotry."
The Christian Anti- Defamation Commission is a non-profit organization devoted to protecting the rights of Christians to confidently live their faith. Dr. Gary Cass has degrees from Westminster Theological Seminary. He previously served as Executive Director of the Center for Reclaiming America for Christ, an outreach of Coral Ridge Ministries founded by the late Dr. D. James Kennedy.
