Ok these "top 10 stories" is EXCLUSIVELY from an US perspective. GREAT THINGS happen and it will NOT get noticed. Should we call this some degree arrogance????

As throughout the year I read your stories I am so saddened to find again and again that Evangelicals cannot register as genuine unless, for instance, they support President Bush, who appears to many outside your country to be an unmitigated disaster. Apparently he has the label, 'Evangelical'. Does that make all his actions righteous? Incidentally I have never heard any reference of him being on the membership roll of any church nor of attending for normal Sunday worship. And why the rush for Governor Palin - was it just because she has the same label? So much of what she was reported as saying so absolutely graceless. Abortion is such a big subject but what about the willing and constant destruction of life caused by the guns that Evangelicals must have?

Wouldn't the tragic loss of Dottie Rambo rate a top ten? Or Billie Graham reaching 90 years of age?

I'm very surprised at the discrepancy between what readers thought should be first in importance and the order CT considered important. Is CT that far out of touch with their readership? Gay "marriage," global economy, and the persecution of Christians worldwide--how does democrats trying to corner the evangelical vote even come close in comparison? That they made little gain in that area is no surprise either...Evangelicals, contrary to the insulting portrayals, are not mindless lemmings. As a nation we tend to be puffed up with our own self-importance--perhaps this is why CT seems to be losing their way.

When I read about each of these events, they are all number one in their own respective categories. Each is ground shaking. California's Christians fought hard for a political change back to what marriage should be. But Christians cannot possibly stop the legislative process of the majority for long when the majority is going anti-God, losing fight in end Persecution of Christians around the world is getting REALLY serious, both in India, Iraq, Pakistan, and let's not forget China. Satan loves to divide and conquer, and he has tried through Todd Bentley, who in my opinion is heretical and a danger to true Pentecostal groups and believers. Christians getting too political during an election has always raised concern in my mind. We represent another country, we are Ambassadors for that Kingdom. We don't in my opinion hold dual citizenship. Anglican debate, Holy Spirit alive Christians separating out from dead or dying "believers", part of the growth/death cycle of denominations.

From a global perspective, we should look at either the flight of Christians from the Middle East or the attacks on Christians in Orissa, India. I voted for the latter because it seems symptomatic of what is happening in dozens of countries in addition to India.

I think Rick warren hosting the Presidential debate should be number one!

I think Christians made to flee from Iraq and Ghaza and lossing Christian witness in these areas is of highest importance and should be number 1.
