    I think the key is that while we should be humble and recognize that we can err, even as to strongly held beliefs, the Word of God is infallible, inerrant and should be made to shine like a light and shout like a trumpet from the highest and best places we can reach. It is love to give the gift of His loving Word to all, whether they err with us or in their own way, for while we are all sinners--i.e., in error--Jesus' blood takes away all sin. I watch Colbert quite a bit--his wit is sharp--and I think, though I may well be in error, that he is part parodist and part proselytizer. He may disclaim the latter, but he should almost have to admit that parody only works when it plays on a substantial kernel of truth. I'd sure like to see/hear the interview.
