WWJD? (IOKIYAR)

IOKIYAR

What's wrong with this picture?

The IRS is coming down on a church, threatening to revoke its tax-exempt status, because the minister gave an anti-war sermon. (And after all, promoting peace is what the "Prince of Peace" himself advocated.)

But if you're a Republican strategist, using the church to bring out the religious "wackos" is fair game when it supports the neo-con agenda.

[On Oct. 31, 2004, Rev. George F.] Regas said that "good people of profound faith" could vote for either man, and did not tell parishioners whom to support.

But he criticized the war in Iraq, saying that Jesus would have told Bush, "Mr. President, your doctrine of preemptive war is a failed doctrine. Forcibly changing the regime of an enemy that posed no imminent threat has led to disaster."

That's all it takes to get an investigation started by the godless bureaucrats of the IRS.

WWJD? Somebody needs to drop a dime on these "wackos."

Ok...Dumbya...you want to start this?

Last year, my parents pastor told her congregation to call senators and vote to ban gay marriage at thier home voting locations.

Seems to me they need some investigating too!

It's "hard work" I know, but you should "get er done" for Jesus!

Wow Mark! You could not be more off base in your analysis. Conservative Christian churches do not pontificate politics from the pulpit. My chrge with over 6000 members never, ever speaks of poltics and won't even allow voter registration drives.

On the other hand I seem to remember several instances of John Kerry being intoduced in black Christian churches by Bill Clinton and Jesse Jackass.

If you become more intellictually honest in your liberalism, you will only assist us conservatives in our efforts to keep your ilk out of power.

Respectfully Mr. Pundit, your facts are "no longer operative."

Why is it that so many believers believe that their belief requires me to believe as they believe?

Your hero, PrezNitWit Bush get clearance for Supreme Court nominations from the head of the Evangelicas, Dobsonl, Your other boy, McCain, is trying to get Jerry Falwell in his pocket. The Bush/Cheney campain made numerous appearences at "black" churches in '00 and '04 and secured several endorsements. And they even got a couple of Catholic clerics to issue fatwas against Kerry for his pro-choice stance.

Read a paper once in awhile before you pontificate.
