I grew up in California in the 60s & like Sarah Palin "nothing freaks me out." But the statement of Assemblies of God's "Commission on Doctrinal Purity, etc." does seem particularly backward.
"Today in our American culture, many people have turned their adoration from the Creator to the creation. They have gone to the extreme and are now worshiping the earth. We believe worship of the land, the sea, the oceans, and other attributes of the earth is an abomination to God the Creator."
It still amazes me that those, who can't find their ass with both hands, presume to speak so authoritatively for the Mainspring of All Creation. One must make Creation very small to be so very important.
Imagine the public policy that such moral clarity might produce.
