SCAREY

First let me say I am a Christian.  And I know you are not supposed to judge other people.  Having said that, I just ran across something I hadn't heard before.  About this famous guy that is a Christian.  I would have never thought it was true but have found a couple of sources. 

When I tell you who you may understand my shock.  It just goes to prove that you can't judge a book by the cover!

So who am I talking about?  Are ya sitting down?  Really?  Ok, here goes:  Ted Nugent!  Yeah, the rock n roll guy, the guy that loves to hunt (that is a totally different subject and I don't feel it is related to the topic at hand) you've seen his reality show on tv.

I was browsing Snopes.com and came across this:

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Ted Nugent Quote

Thought my eyes were deceiving me so I went to his offical site:

Welcome to Ted Nugent.com!

 Which doesn't mention it (or so I didn't see it), but I did learned he was once voted father of the year! 

Another story about him here:

Ted Nugent: 53 years clean and sober - Salon

Does mention that he is a Christian.  Why am I so shocked?  Have I really judged the book by the cover?  I sure have.  After seeing him on the tv these past few years I thought.......well, heck it really doesn't matter what I thought.  (other than I think the guy might be crazy--but I guess we all are to an extent LOL).

So what did we learn today?  Can't judge a book by the cover.  Can't judge what is in a man's heart.  Not all Christians look or act the same.  Don't judge all Christians by the actions of another Christian.

Ted Nugent still creeps me out though.  Sorry folks but if you have ever seen his reality show............and don't forget to read his hunting stories on his site.  ewww......

I echo your sentiment of being creeped out by Ted Nugent.  He's insane and he kills living creatures for the sport of it with a bow and arrow.  Barbaric.

I feel Christianity and spirituality are very personal.  I don't think any one of us totally embraces another person's idea of Christianity.  I consider myself a Cafeteria Christian.  I pick and choose what I want to believe.  Actually, I'm led to what I should believe.  Faith.

Great journal!!

I don't know who he is. LOL! But it's true, don't judge a book by it's cover but all people who say they are Christian aren't necessarily either. To be Christian, you have to behave like one and live a Christlike life. It's hard work. : )

True you can't judge a book by it's cover, & not ALL Christians act a like. But then any one can claim to be a Christian...the proof is in the way one lives their life, & spirituality is between one & God.

I've listened to his music over the years and I just saw his reality show for the first time last week, but a Christian? With the way he cusses? LOL Yea, that's hard to believe.

Well I never would have guessed. You just can't judge a book by it's cover for sure.

He's also a right-winger and so I have to hate him.  I wish he go away permanently.  He's a major asshole.
