Yet Another Subject I Should Avoid

Politics-preaching minister quits
The Associated Press


WAYNESVILLE, N.C. - A Baptist preacher accused of running out nine congregants who refused to support President Bush resigned yesterday.
"I am resigning with gratitude in my heart for all of you," the Rev. Chan Chandler said as he left a closed-door meeting at East Waynesville Baptist Church.
Congregants of the 100-member church in western North Carolina have said that Chandler endorsed Bush from the pulpit during last year's presidential campaign and said that anyone who planned to vote for Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry needed to "repent or resign."
The church members said he continued to preach about politics after Bush won re-election, culminating with a church gathering last week in which the nine members said they were ousted.





I could be wrong here, but isn’t it weird to assume God has a political agenda? The afore mention Reverend Chan Chandler, clearly thinks that the G in God stands for the 1st letter in the GOP. All this time I was under the mistaken understanding that GOP was an acronym for Grand Old Party, not God’s Own Party. No separation of church and state here.

You sir are an idiot.

You don’t get to change the rules on your watch. This is like adding a rider to perfectly good bill just to push your personal agenda. This is a form of religious pork belly politics.

I have said it before and I am happy to say it again, if Bush is God’s man, the election would not have been close.

The other side of the coin here of course is that the “Right Rev Chanster” has the world broken down into 2 camps. The election of course was close because the US is clearly in total moral decline and Satan worshipping Demodemons occupy almost 50% of the country. Most of the legions of non-Bush fans of course live in the big cities and left coast. Clearly this self appointed leader of the moral right is correct in booting folks from his church. No membership to the Republican Party? No ticket to the pearly gates, sorry it says so right there in the Bible, somewhere, I’m sure.

But wait, I voted for Bush when he ran against “Box of Rocks Gore”. At the time my believe in God was the same as the last election when I didn’t vote for Bush. Could it be that there those of us in this country who simply vote for the right person for the right reasons? It’s a concept. But of course this can be explained away quite simply. I clearly have no idea who God is and thus voted for the Anti-Bush. Yes that must be it. In a world filled with wonder and awe, the evangelistic groups have it nailed. They are right and we are dammed.

Based on my limited understanding of God, I always kind of thought of God as a universal being. I did not know that in fact not only was God an American but he was also Republican. I wonder how this breaks down on a global vision. In the UK would God then be Labour? In Canada is God a member of the Reform Party? Or Does God just send ambassadors to these other places while God stays here at home. Of course now it makes sense, that’s why God wanted George W, he does the legwork for God.
