oh alex. did this post even mention mclaren anywhere. you just like to go back to him... i guess. i would defend something to u, but it is pointless. peace.
Isn't the statement, "right wing christian evangelicals thirst for political power over real change." sound a lot like the nazi statenment that Jews control the world. Name me any number of right wing christians in political office of the senate and/or congress? They are not so making a blanket statement like that leans to the side of ignorance Next you will probably state that conservative christians are like Al Queda. Let's see standing up for the life of the unborn, protecting the family unit, and setting up workfare instead of welfare sounds like pretty strong old and new testament ideas. Would that change do the nis country good? Yes but whhen you have christians who believe in dessruction of the american family and killing of the unborn I would suggest that this is a danger to our soceity. Also when you have christians like Sojurner that Jesus would not be driving an SUV you have hit the weird level. My suggestion to you and everyone who believes in the ways of the left - you know anti-cinservative christianity, anti- israel, and just plain anti semitic sell all you possessions and give it away. This way instead of being a hypocrite and bashing conservative christians you all can live on the streets. You know practice what you preach and all that. I also hold what Billy Graham states that being conservative thologicaly does not translate into conservative or liberal politics. You want to bash conservatives go right ahead. Just be prepared after you have made your bed to sleep in it. Good day!

billy said this? wow, that's kinda cool. i would consider myself one of these dudes. i'm pretty conservative theologically, but pretty liberal politically. it's good to know that other people i respect (billy and you) think that the 2 can coexist.
wow. i did not know i would become so hated and loved with my lazy blogger post. i am just trying to get people to read my boy jeremys blog. but i am know the anti-christ that is destroying the christian faith along with all of my crazed liberal christian partners. i am pretty busy so i will have to wait to comment on any of these things. or maybe i will wait for jeremy to come and comment over here, but he has probably seen your others comments and would not waste his time. luv u jeremy. ttyl blogging world. j-lou gotta try and work.
yes... alex people can read.
1. Are you suggesting that Chrisitian conservatives value political power over change?
no ... i am saying that MAYBE james dobson does.
2. Do you see conservative Christians as Biblically unsound and if so, how do you justify abortion and gay rights proponents in the liberal parties?
i think Christian conservative are narrow minded and put TOO MUCH focus on gay rights and abortion. and they lack focus on the environemnt, the poor, immigration, peacemaking, and i could go on but i have a job.
and here are a couple of thoughts in regards to people who read my blog and want answers. i do not care. i am in a stage of my life that i will ask questions could care less if i get answers. i do not give answers and like people to ask me quesitons but please do not expect any answers becuase you will be let down.
when i am well read enough and have a difinitive position on somehting you would like me to respond upon. i will let you know. unitl than you expect me never to respond to your comments.... because you annoy the crap out of me and the people who read my blog ands name is not YEPIZ. so feel free to read and comment anywhere else. peace.
I'd love to join the circus, but I will only throw this question out and that's it.
which is the worse sin to vote for? --- pro-choice or conservative with a scandal?
I was basically saying that voting either pro-choice or voting for someone who is scandalous (and I'm not naming names, it could be anyone) is a difficult moral choice and ultimately, you live with whichever is the "lesser of the 2 evils." There's several difficult moral choices we think of in the booth and they all balance into how someone will develop policy (or change policy) and we want to vote in the person who is going to do the most for the people we care about. That's what it comes down to.
