Have churches changed this much over the years? ?

Question

"It was so cool growing up in this church and getting saved here,'' Palin told the church audience in June, praising "the umbrella of this church... God has sent me from underneath the umbrella of this church throughout this state.''

Kalnins has preached that critics of Bush will be banished to h**l, questioned if people who voted for Sen. John Kerry in 2004 would be accepted to Heaven, charged that the 9/11 terrorist attacks and Iraq were part of a war "contending for your faith;" and that Jesus "operated from that position of war mode."

During the 2004 election, Kalnins praised Bush's performance in debate with Sen. John Kerry, then offered a not-so-subtle message about his own preference: "I'm not going tell you who to vote for, but if you vote for this particular person, I question your salvation. I'm sorry." Kalnins said. "If every Christian will vote righteously, it would be a landslide every time."

Answer 1

I attended church until politics entered churches in 2004 and 2006.  I actually turned the churches in to lose their tax exemption status.  Churches are not allowed to preach for a candidate and stay tax exempt.  

The republicans have only one issue - regulating private lives to distract from public policy so they can sell the country from under our feet. It's working pretty well to focus on regulating the working class woman's uterus, and their goal is to outlaw any education about ovulation, fertility and contraception to make sure women have at least ten pregnancies.

McSame is Bush's third term. Remember how churches talked about the last hurricane being God's wrath. Now, God Gustav is hailing down wrath on the Republican National Convention. I wonder if God Gustav will hit St. Paul just to show them Gustav really is God. Yes, The End may be near for them. It is funny because James Dobson and Focus on the Family were praying for something like this to happen to the Democrats and their prayers are being answered the way God wanted them.

A vote for republicans is a vote to continue selling our country to the highest bidder, would render the Pledge of Allegiance meaningless, and would outlaw the word liberty in the Pledge of Allegiance, the 4th of July's Declaration of Independence and the Statue of Liberty. Flag pins will continue to be important and will take on the same meaning as swastikas.

Is this the couple we need in the oval office? I saw this on a 38 inch flat screen with TIVO rewind and confirmed it with everyone else in the room, my dad saw it at his house, and the person who put this video here saw it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13LRTrxC_...

Is this the person you want leading if the country is in a crisis? Watch the 3 minute mark. The corruption headline is also fitting and works with the statements. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pak-rH0dC...
