A Friend in Church -Post Election- Slams em !! gently down

[juliagoolia]

She sent me a note saying how she did it and it went........

Along these lines…

I’ve been using ‘church talk’ at church as regards the elections. Wednesday night after church, one old guy whom I knew to be a rabid Republican asked me how I was, and I said I was sad and disheartened because of the election, because I saw no end to the mass murdering of thousands of God’s children with another 4 years of the same group of men whose hearts seemed to be so hardened against Jesus’ command to love one another and pray for our enemies. He was a little taken-aback, and said I should pray about it, and, if they needed to be ‘turned around’, God would do it.

So yesterday the same man came up to me and asked me if I was feeling any better about the elections. I said yes, that his suggestion to pray had worked, that Ashcroft had already quit! My next task would be to pray about Karl Rove, and work my way up to the president. He just stood there with his mouth open for a few seconds, and then said something like, “God bless you”, and walked away.

5. LOL! I quit going to my church because of all the cars with the "W"

stickers on them. I don't know how any true Christian call this chimp a Christian! Personally, they disgust me, so I quit going. Don't blame God, but just couldn't stand being constantly angry and frustrated at the stupidity of it all!

6. I wonder if people will stand up and renounce him in public

in church ever?

I think really brave ones will.

I heard of one girl on here who left in the middle of church when the minister started in on voting and election persuasion during the sermon, and she didnt leave quietly. She her kids, her husband, her daughter and son in law..all got up and stomped out in the middle of it.

We need more like her!

8. Disgusting, isn't it? I don't know how any preacher can call a politician

a Christian and not the other. I mean, I think all politicians have problems, even Kerry! None are perfect. None of us are perfect! These preachers talk about the unborn, but I always say, "Excuse me, but we are all still God's children and part of his plan when we are out of our mother's womb. Go to Iraq and look at the dead children and dead pregnant women from our bombs! What about their unborn? I guess it's okay to you since you are here in America and not having to look at the dead and having to bury them with the stench of rotting corpses! I'm sorry, but I find breaking a commandment (Thou shalt not kill), pretty serious and I don't condone it in any way!" They never have a response. Just blabble about Christian values, even though I just explained to them about how chimp doesn't have any! Sad state of affairs, I tell ya!
