1. This is where Rev Wright really back fired. The true message of the bible is peace and kindness.

[Tutonic]

2. New wine in old skins. We've heard this before. It all turns out

the same. These are the new Republicans. they'll ascend to the center stage as soon as Hagee, Crouch, Robertson and Dobson among others die off.

[Plucketeer]

3. LOL!

And these are folks that would balk at the promise of "HOPE" from a being that's real! :rofl:

[paparush]

4. Yet another (A) financial ( B)sexual (C)drug (D)all of the above scandal waiting to happen.

[stlsaxman]

5. Back in the late '60's there were the "Jesus Freaks"...

kinda reminds me of them.

only back then they were far more gentle souls than this new breed.

on edit: i should cast no aspersions. "judge not lest ye be Judge Wapner".

[Tutonic]

6. Ya know I watched that video again and I realized that these

New Republicans aer pretty much like the Old Republicans--don't like much diversity. They're preaching to a bunch of people that look just like they do. Intersting. Do you really think a liberal loving Jesus would be hanging out with this group?

[Prophet 451]

7. Yeah, I'm not buying it

OK, there may be a few more young evangelicals this time around but the vast majority of evangelicals will still vote Republican because doing so is as much a part of their faith as hating gay people.


NOTE: This is not a blast at Christianity in general, just at the evangelical interpretation of it.

[PerpetuallyDazed]

8. That's unfortunate, too...

Jesus never spoke to abortion or homosexuality.
