Get a load out of this!
NOT GOP? You’re Excommunicated!!
Following the report that nine members of the East Waynesville Baptist Church in western North Carolina were excommunicated because they did not support President Bush in the election, Ralph G. Neas, President of People For the American Way Foundation, had the following statement:
“What have we come to when the doors of a church are closed to longtime members because of their political beliefs? When a pastor equates political support for the ‘wrong’ candidate with a sin before God?
“I would say to Senator Frist and Karl Rove that this is what comes of attempts to manipulate religion for political gain. Americans simply will not accept the claim that ‘unless you accept my political beliefs, you cannot be a good Christian.’
“This nation was founded on respect for religious belief, and tolerance for religious diversity. Men and women of faith have every right to advocate for their political beliefs. While churches, of course, can set their own membership standards, no one should punish people of faith for their political beliefs.
“This is terribly sad. I urge the President to express his opposition to all attempts to manipulate faith for political gain.”
And yet, this is just another example of our self-proclaimed, “Christians” at their best.
If you don’t emulate my thoughts, opinions, way of life, you get the boot, Charlie Brown!
The sad part about this – is that the hypocritical, Neo-Nazi, extreme right-winged, God Fearing, intolerant haters will read this and not realize that they’re one of them.
For all you mental midgets out there: Do you all really think God approves of your evil ways? I think he’s planning to burn you guys extra slowly in Hell!
BooYAH Baybay!!! I’m starting to get SICK of these people! They do NOT need to be placed in high positions of power. Personal freedoms clash radically with the far-right whacko segment of the Republican Party….
Some people think Hitler’s dead. But I think his spirit is alive in too many people out there.
Sorry if this one is closed already, (used the randomize link;)
Somehow power seems to be a human need – especially the abuse of power. Ah got a little cynical now… it is that extreme situations that catches our eyes right? However… I risk to be victim of a stereotype myself, if it allows me to distrust religion… There are enough people in power already on this planet… don*t need a higher being who claims to even be above them.
