That's according to Time magazine...For the last couple years
Time magazine has featured it's
100 Most Influential People issue....
Well this years list is causing some in the faith community to scratch their head an wonder "why the lack of faith leaders"?.... In other words there is not one preachers listed as a symbol that represents God... Not even Pope Benedict XVI and his red shoes didn't make the list...I don't get it! It seems to me if you are head of a church the size of the Catholic Church and you got over a billion people who look to you for guidance....Now that's some kinda of influence in the world....I don't know how Time determines these things but I am willing to bet most on the list will be forgotten by the end of the month...and the Pope will still be guiding billion of people .... Do a list like this reflects the
faith voices losing clout — or it’s just oversight on the part of
Time editors? Now when I see a list that Lady gaga is on all I can say is Come-on! She kills people in her videos! PLEASE...
Influence: the capacity or power of persons or things to be a compelling force on or produce effects on the actions, behavior, opinions, etc., of others.
