I know everyone here thinks im a crazy conservative... but im not. im gay for that matter, too.
BUT- I do take issue with articles talking about Palin being an extreamist.
I grew up in an Assembly of God church, and while I don't attend Church anymore, It's not an extreamist church.
If you grew up in this church, her statements about praying that god's will be done in Iraq doesnt seem weird at all.
If you actually get into doctrine, Assembly of God is actually pacifist. And it makes perfect sense to me that the soliders over there should be doing gods will when they are obviously doing very dirty, bad things ie Abu Grhaib and torturing people.
So I think its really unfair to call her extreamist. Assemblies of God is not for me, but its by no way as scary as the southern baptists, for example.
And the whole thing about speaking in toungs is overdone. My parents never did it and were hardcore members. Only my grandfather spoke in toungs when he had Alzethimers.. hahaha. oh, the memories.
