Oprah Denies Jesus as Sole Way to God
A new video which features popular talk show host Oprah Winfrey denying Jesus as the only way to God has received over 5 million views on several reporting video sites. […T]he ‘new age’ philosophy the video attributes Oprah with spreading has been a cause of concern for many Christians for some time. Many believe the day-time host is leading many into spiritual confusion by distorting the gospel message of Christianity.
One pastor likened Oprah’s ‘many ways to God’ approach as a ‘blind man’ drawing close to the edge of a dangerous cliff. “She holds the trendy idea that religions are essentially the same,” writes Steven W. Cornell, a Pennsylvania-based pastor.
“She irrationally romanticizes the notion that God can be whatever you want him/her/it to be,” Cornell continues to write.

LivePrayer.com founder Bill Keller, an internet-based program on faith and values, believes Oprah may be starting her ‘own cult.’When speaking with the Celebrity News Service, Keller said, “She has an incredible amount of influence over people and an incredible following.”

It’s amazing how worked up people can get about their imaginary friends in the sky.
#1: Only one item on the first page is about religion. Only a handful in the last month. How is this religion.com?
Someone implies that Christianity isn’t the one true religion?!?!? Oh no!!!!
Better an Oprah cult than some of the other religious wing-nuts who promote hate and ignorance.
Oh no, we wouldn’t want to intellectualize about it. That would almost be like THINKING. We all know that rational argument is cult’s biggest enemy. Sorry, people who have not accepted jesus, you’re not going to heaven with us. He’s the only way. His followers said he told us so in a compendium of ancient cult texts. And we believe everything he said because god can’t be wrong. Except in the older rev.
Cult is as cult does. You’re going to die. You don’t know what, if anything will happen to you. Grow up and get over it.
“She irrationally romanticizes the notion that God can be whatever you want him/her/it to be”, writes Steven W. Cornell, a Pennsylvania-based pastor.
And believing there’s an imaginary man in the sky is completely rational.
The guy who made this video, Oprah and the ladies in the audience clearly swallowed the blue pills.
I love it when the woman in the audience says “Jesus can not come back until that gospel is preached in the four corners of this earth.” … Again, how many corners does a sphere have? And secondly… she’s implying that there’s more than one earth? Was Jesus born there as well?
Please, may the rapture come NOW!

I think there’s been a merger or acquisition. If you want religious squabbling, just go to dvorak.org/blog.
Hey, it boosts the hit count. And that’s really all that matters. Praise Jesus for more hits.
What surprised me about this video was that they seemed so shocked that Oprah isn’t a Christian, and that she had the audacity to make that little fact fairly clear. This ain’t headline news, folks.
Before she stopped herself, the point that Oprah was trying to make was that billions of people have lived and died in circumstances where it was virtually impossible for them to have even heard of Jesus. According to strictest Christian doctrine, they all went to Hell. All in all, it’s a lovely religion.
I like Oprah but she has these notions of getting involved in politics and now religion. I really think she should keep from making opinions on both. We all have opinions but her show should be about her guests and not about Oprah.
First, I’m not an Oprah fan, but I don’t like her detractors either.
“One pastor likened Oprah’s ‘many ways to God’ approach as a ‘blind man’ drawing close to the edge of a dangerous cliff….”

And how is that any different than the current situation where there are literally thousands of versions of Christianity out there is the world. Thousands of “Christian” religions, all with their own belief systems/theologies? Each of them of course believe that their system is the one true religion.
That doesn’t even consider the thousands of other religious beliefs that don’t even factor Jesus into the picture.
How about cutting the theological stuff back to the Golden Rule, stop worshiping the Man in the Sky that isn’t there (if he’s really there he’s probably ticked off that everyone is praying for him to change his mind to favor themselves), and just start being excellent to one another (thank you Rufus/George Carlin).

That would be a new one in this day and age, where talk show hosts, newscasters and online personalities are put on pedestal… people to admire… 😛
The only real god is the FSM.

I guess we’ll all found out in the end. If I’m wrong, I don’t see the downside. But if you’re wrong … man, it’ll suck to be you.

Fuckin’ A. But these worshipers at the altar of Godlessness are so filled with hubris, it never occurred to them that they might be wrong.
They’re invincible.
HAW!
dream on, dudes…..
#3 just coz its only the one on the first page doesnt mean u should find 1 about religion ASAP
why comparison with religion.com (i wonder whats on there, will check out after this post :D):
because thats all of the “usefull” information that is in there. its not funny, not informative for “non tru believers”, its useless. I enjoy those “jesus-in-food” posts though. But this one really out of place
Cuil bike footage… Civilized riding.
I can’t speak for my fellow worshipers at the “altar of Godlessness,” but if I’m wrong, I’ve simply missed out on the opportunity to worship a god who kills innocent people, including children, to accomplish his will. I really don’t see a downside to this missed opportunity. Even if I believed he existed, I would hope I had enough moral courage to refuse to worship such an evil god. I can’t be certain that I actually have that much courage, but I certainly aspire to it.
On the other hand, there are many other gods to choose from, and most of them are less evil than the one y’all seem to love/fear so much.
I live a nice, friendly, compassionate life without the (s)trappings of religion in any way. I am totally unencumbered and free from the weight and burden of religion and it’s very enlightening. You can get there if you really try very little.
And I should care about this because?
In the book of John,
it is mentioned that a true person of good conscious will still go to god.
I’ll tell you what. Some of these Jesus freaks are downright scary. If you enter into a disagreement with one, it’s best to do so on line where you’re safe from gunfire.
Oprahism is yet another prosperity cult, which are very big in Christianity these days. Wish for something hard enough and it will come to you.
For Oprah its “The Secret” aka. “The Law of Attraction”. I think its all BS for people with screwed up priorities.
I think I watched her show a few times but its been a few years.
She bloats up pretty bad when she eats too many Jesus Cheetos.
“I guess we’ll all found out in the end. If I’m wrong, I don’t see the downside. But if you’re wrong … man, it’ll suck to be you.”
fear, its what keeps people going to church.
I think it’s time to bring back Bokononism
from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokononism
The foundation of Bokononism is that all religion, including Bokononism and all its texts, is formed entirely of lies; however, if you believe and adhere to these lies, you will live a happy life.

Choose one, then. Guess what? They’re all the same.
And not to worry. Even if you reject God, he still loves you.
That’s why he’s God. And you’re not!
Silly rabbit.

And that would distinguish you from the bitter, miserablel, jaded, cynical, self-loathing worshipers at the altar of Atheism, n’est-ce pas?
A happy life? Holy fuck! If they could allow people to live happy lives, what would be the purpose of Atheism? It would become superfluous! No “raison dettrah”. Yowza! Imagine!
