Actually I didn't, but I found your story more pathetically sad then the inspiring tale it was intended to be. A very young man works on setting up a tent for a revival, and gets so moved he spends his life as a bum, for 14 years, spreading the word. It seems like a mental illness to me, and thats not even approaching it as an atheist.

BTW, I suppose you could consider Jesus a homeless, childless, vagabond, who wandered and preached the Good News. If He had any Bibles I'm sure he would have given them away......

Yes, he was, good for him.

Between George W. Bush, who claims to be a Christian, and the man in the story, who seems to be a true Christian???

Every president has 'blood' on their hands, with men dying at their orders, and they all 'claimed' to be Christians. If everyone in the country acted like our vagabond friend, we would no longer exist as a nation, and be someones political bitch (who's would just depend on when this conversion to vagabond Christiandom happened).
This does highlight a thought I've had for a long time though. Christianity taken literally, makes you a good loser, but still a loser. The feeling you get is you should be embarrassed about your strengths. Luckily for us in the West, it wasn't really taken seriously, I'd much rather be a member of the conquerors than the conquered.
