Palin: Christian In Name Only

[Deliphus]

I've seen a lot of letters to editors of late that proclaim the joy these people have that a Christian like Palin is now on the ticket. Well, granted McCain is barely a Christian if he is actually one at all. But Palin?

Uh...does anyone REALLY think that Jesus would approve of someone picking off defenseless wolves from an airplane for enjoyment???

That's not sport. That's effin' inhumanity. That's sick and vile. I've got no problem with people hunting, it's not for me personally but I'd never make support making it illegal...but THIS isn't sport by any definition.

I gotta say: those conservatives who CALL themselves Christians need to go read the Bible again! They've obviously failed to understand what it says!!!

1. I agree...

Her creed is Mooslamist.

[Deliphus]

2. Creed

Really? After the Gibson interview, I would have guessed Confusionism.

Or perhaps Buttist.

[WheelWalker]

3. In what respect, Deliphus?

:shrug:

14. Heh, that's pretty clever.

[Heather MC]

4. Don't forget they care so much about an Unborn Fetus, but once it's out

it's quality of life means nothing to them.

[Bill McBlueState]

5. the Bible says so much,

one could find support for almost any worldview in there.

But come to think of it, I don't remember reading anything that proscribes aerial hunting, or whatever it's called.

There are better ways to argue against Palin than to ask people to imagine what your favorite holy man thinks of her.

6. Right ON!

Real Christians are offended and upset at people like Palin. Those that quote scripture that fits their argument, but take it completely out of context, or ignore the next two verses that contradict their own argument. Those that bring God down to a powerful, angry human, not a benevolent, all-forgiving being. Those that think church is a Sunday obligation, and not a chance to become increase faith.

I know some people here are atheists, and I respect you all. Please, give the same respect back to the real Christians. Just, not to the fake ones like Palin.

7. And Americans that came before Palin

held native population in as low regard as she holds wolves. Indeed, if there had been aircraft, the genocide practiced on native populations would have made Manifest Destiny much easier. And these killers thought of themselves as Christians. Think about it.

8. I saw the new name "Christianists" this morning on DU. I think

that name describes a majority of the so called Evangelicals in America.

12. Good term...

I use the term Biblicans. They follow the rest of the book instead of focusing on the words of Jesus.

[polichick]

9. They're Faux Christians, and mainstream Christians need to call them out...

Just as mainstream Muslims need to call out their extremists. Our extremists are not less dangerous than theirs.

10. Like many others, she is just in it for political gain

The churches represented an existing structure that they could exploit for political gain.

It is also code for "white."

Which explains perfectly why these people do not sell all they have and give it to the poor. Why they forget they are not supposed to judge others. They sort of forget tall that stuff, since that wasn't their point in joining.

[Bubbha Jo]

11. There are those who follow the teachings of Jesus

then there are those who put more importance on the rest of their book, which has some pretty nasty behavior in it directed by their version of god. She is one of the latter while Obama would be in the former group.

13. She has a lying habit, that's not Christian like
