the new joe
Pam you are out of your league.
This country was founded on several principles, one of those being separation of Church and State. The reason being our wise forefathers had in their not too distant historical memories the ravages of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation of their own ancestors. In fact many of our countries earliest immigrants to this new land left Europe because of the residue of religious intolerance there, I alone can trace my own to the original Dutch of the Hudson Valley of New York, the Puritans of Plymouth and to the "Quakers" of Pennsylvania, each group attempting to escape religious intolerance.
Defend your pastor if you must and need but he was and is a hypocrite espousing no Christian virtues that I can see. His brand of hypocrisy and bigotry has no place in this country and more importantly the DEMOCRACY that our forefathers took the brave steps to divorce themselves from tyranny.
Before you start saying foolish and downright stupid things about the white washing of history, READ MORE instead of the party line that confirms your tiny and small hold on reality. Our forefathers as a whole were not the white bread Christians you make them out to be and if you had taken the time and diligence to study such matters you would not make the errors of justification, wrong as they are to support your feeble and pathetic rational.
When you make such simple minded statements such as "As for voting, you can rest assured this Evangelical Christian will take my place in line and hope to keep the liberals out of office" you paint yourself as not being a Christian nor human.
You are nothing but a lapdog to a predigested and predetermined reality that made other Christians such as Martin Luther revolt against the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church. In fact you are no better than a blind papist and hence your views and your opinions to those who actually take it upon themselves to question the nature of God, the Spirit and the role of our place in this "divine comedy" of life, this country and the world at large are worthless, without merit and furthermore not worthy of future debate, discussion and time.
Martin Luther was excommunicated for your right to exercise your brain independent of brainwashing, start using it.
