What a shame that they do not know Jesus or feel that he is not worthy of an appearance on their American Idolater show..

hmmmm

I wonder if they were trying to appeal to people of all religions?

I wonder if the fact that many of the people who they are getting contributions to help are not Christians had anything to do with it?

I wonder if the people bitching about it got on the phone and donated any money.

Yeah...

"Let's use an obvious Christian song to appeal to people of all religions."...

if it's obviously a Christian song, changing the word Jesus to shepherd doesn't change that

if changing that one word makes it no longer a Christian song, then it's obviously not that much of a Christian song

when Christian extremists start ranting about their victimization and martyrdom, it makes me want to stop going to church - it's embarrassing to be considered one of them

I never like the show myself but do believe Spencer covered it well. I'm a sheep with a bite. lol

and I wouldn't have known if cnredd hadn't have posted it, thanks.

Actually it does...

Anti-religious zealouts are offended even hearing the name, and American Idol catered to them...

Who said it's no longer a Christian song?...I know I didn't...

When normal Christians are required to keep their mouth shut or else get the labeled "extremists", it showed how some are skewed into stereotyping all and shuts down legitimate concerns...

Or it may have just catered to anyone who is not Christian.

100% agree

I have no problem with them taking the word Jesus out of the song. In this song, it is just a word. To those who worship him, they do not need confirmation from American Idol. Regardless of who was getting the money, I think that taking the word "Jesus" out of the song went far to not alienate some people who donated. Remember, their point was to raise money for people who needed it, not to shun donors.

not in my church

if the congregation was asked who the Shepherd is, 99.99% would immediately say Jesus

normal Christians are not out making a big deal about this - normal Christians don't consider using the word shepherd about Jesus to be much of a legitimate concern
the only ones making a big deal out of it are the wackjob extremists trying to portray themselves as victims and martyrs - when what they really are is wackjobs trying to stop people from viewing legal materials and dictating what is taught in the schools and how to influence elections in order to put one of their own in office
they're not the normal ones

I was thinking that earlier. All the Church's I have gone or belonged to over the years every one from young to old would reply the same way.
