Are all Megachurches Right wing?
The ones we always complain about. Do you know of any left wing megachurches? Though, I don't think liberal Christians should be proud of such a hypocrisy. But it seems that they are all RW.

1. By definition, I believe so. There is a movement in the
evangelical and born again community to explore pro environment stands. There is not a movement to oppose attacking foreign countries and killing their citizens without being threatened or attacked first. This is the ultimate in extreme right wing ideology. If they were non political, they would see Jesus for what he was/is, "the prince of peace."

3. It's called
Creation Care.

They believe, from the Bible, it is their god given duty to protect this planet. They hate environmentalism since it's liberal so they have thier own version of it. At least some ministers are concerned about diversity of life on this rock.

4. Well, if it's pro environment, I'll take it. Thanks.
I heard someone on C-Span that is one of these Evangelical folks. They talked about how they would like to work with the environmental movement but they see it as "too pagan." I thought to myself, well, I'm in that movement and I'm not a pagan at all. Then I thought, "what a bunch of fucking bigoted morons." I hope they're serious but this isn't a good start...geez, pagans (remember the movie "Dragnet"...Pagans...People against goodness and decency...haha). Thanks for the info.
