" How many Christians have read the Book of Enoch, or the Book of Jubilees? Even though Jesus taught, these were good books, very few people have read them. The Early Roman Catholic Church tried to ban these books, even though Jesus taught from them. Why, you might ask? Because they countered what Paul was tring to preach. Wouldn't it be funny, if real Christians started to seperate from Paulians. Paul taught war is OK, when Jesus taught to embrace your enemy with Love. Paul teaches to erradicate all other religions, Jesus teaches Love them anyways. "

" When the Founding Fathers put 'Freedom of Religion' in the Constitution, they meant ALL religions, because whether Christians like it or not, Paganism was a brood belief in New America, until Christians began to torture and kill non-believers. A tactic, the early Romans used on Jesus' disiples, as well as the Nazis used on the Jews. But America was founded on personal freedom, which includes ALL Beliefs. Besides, Palin was blessed by a Pagan 'Preacher' who used an ancient Egyptian Blessing where Isis, Osiris, and Horus were replaced with the Father Son and Holy Ghost. Read Your History first. "

" Canada is more enlightened than we are - generally speaking... I doubt they'd want a neanderthal-of-a-rightwinger like you! Also, don't Repubs rip Canada for their compassion? I believe you call that SOCIALISM! If a right-winger wants to live abroad, perhaps a theocracy (that means a country governed on religious convictions in case you didn't know since you read nothing other than the bible) would fit you. You know what I mean... a place where if you don't agree with the national religion, you're ridiculed! You belong in a place with like-minded, intolerant people. BON VOYAGE! "

" We lived the second dark ages.. they were during G.W.'s reign. This means no more consumer protection agencies headed by big business heads looking out for the almighty buck rather than PEOPLE! No more prince of darkness Cheney and Dubya and their fear mongering... but total rejection of hyper-religious ignorance (Spankles, the dark ages were about religious fanatics and their rejection of intelligence, science and knowledge... sounds a little like ignorant Palin too - doesn't it?). So, read something other than the bible - like a HISTORY BOOK - and keep your ignorance to yourself! "

you can't say that he'd be better than Bush(even though we all know he would be) because he is an unknown, and all of you supporting him are just clinging to the hope of "Change" but will it be better, or for worse?

Meanwhile, these same people are adamently professing a "prolife" agenda. Where is the outcry from the Christian church when an innocent Iraqi dies.

On a legal note, are you allowed to campaign as a pastor representing your church? Did you not know the IRS has rules about 501c3 political campaign intervention? You are clearly advocating for a specific candidate, a likely violation of IRS ruling 2007-41. "

One of the worst was to give money or even gold ingots to beggars, inscribed with the donors name, and then refuse to sell the beggar food. The unfortunate stranger would starve and after his death, the people reclaimed the gold. It had nothing to do with homosexuality. "
