This story is very disturbing. Granted, it's obvious the pastor is a nut job who was willing to actually publicly kick several members of his congregation to the curb for not supporting George Bush, and I honestly don't think many church leaders would go that far. However, I have been known to underestimate the insanity of many people (specifically Christians and republicans... ha ha, that's just a joke... sort of :) ).
Anyway, the point to this post is that I think the religious/political environment in America has become way too blended lately. I've never heard from the pulpit that I should come forward and repent for not being in line with G-Dub, but I've heard pretty close. That is such a shame.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Too bad they won't let me in the pulpit.
It has been said over and over, but I just want to make sure that I have said it as well: I am relegated to be an American, I am proud to be a Christian. I am constantly bombarded with talk of the political climate, as though I should care who leads the lost and dying world alongside the prince of darkness. I want to be a Christian, and not an American, but alas that may never be.
My best friend and closest thing to a religious advisor is Mexican. Because his parents were born below a line formed by Americans, he always has to be a Mexican. I relate more with him as a Christian, simply speaking a foreign language does not make me wish he and I were from the same place. I hope that even if I were from France we could share the same experiences in life.
