Thread: Left wing preachers v. Right wing preachers.

Alright all of you right leaning folks, I am calling bullshit on the Wright episode.

Very clearly this is partisan based attack. While I find Wright's comments repugnant, he is not alone in the stupidity department. Plenty of right wing preachers have said things even worse than Wright. Take a look.

From Falwell.

"The ACLU is to Christians what the American Nazi party is to Jews."

"AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals. To oppose it would be like an Israelite jumping in the Red Sea to save one of Pharaoh's charioteers ... AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals."

"The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'" --on the 9/11 attacks

Now you all give this clown a pass because he agrees with you politically, and don't give me the same bullshit line about attending his church for 20 years. He is a leader of the Christian right. He represents them. Why in the hell do you let him say these things yet call out Wright on his? I will tell you. Because you are partisan.

falwell is dead, he ain't leadin nothing. wright is still alive & still leading. Maybe the best thing would be for wright to go shake falwells hand.

Yeah those guys are alive and wouldn't mind shaking their hand and then kicking them in the nuts. Give them a sense of the pain they have caused others.

As a Christ follower I will call out Wright! What someone believes may or may not be Gods wrath is an opinion. But when a so-called rev stands up and says GD over and over regardless of his excuses (which there is NO excuse for his actions) I will call him out. Until he repents for his sins the Holy Spirit has fled from him and he is on his own. If the Spirit was ever with him.
No I don’t expect you to understand this because you are not a believer but the Christ followers will.

TFM, even as a right winged christan, i agree with you completely,......personally i feel that religion really shouldnt be mixed with politics

I follow the spaghetti monster.

Good lord. Comparing the ACLU to nazis is okay? Saying that homosexuals caused 9/11 is okay, yet criticizing America is bad? Clearly your stance is glaringly partisan.

I doubt it. Looks like a big steaming load of hypocrisy to me.

you know,.....people need to realize,...god's not a republican,......or a democrat,.....and he really has no place in politics,.......its very sad that most of the major wars in the world have been fought over god, and man's interpretation of him

Criticizing America! He can criticize America all he wants. It’s saying my Masters name in vain over and over that I have a problem with. Not only that he tries to justify it. I will not accept that from any so-called rev.
