The Pastor of my church has refused to say anything about this issue since Obama got elected. I'm starting to believe a lot of the big time religious leaders are turning into moral sellouts in an attempt to appease Obama. Rick Warren is a perfect example.

WE DON’T CARE WHEN WE GET OUR BLOOD MONEY,
JUST AS LONG AS WE GET IT!!
“Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, which offers abortion and family planning, says she doesn’t care when President Obama changes the policy, as long as it is changed. “He has clearly stated his opposition to the global gag rule and his intention to overturn it,” she said.”

Starting? When evangelical “leaders” started getting into “causes” such as environmentalism that’s when I walked. Not all are corrupt, but quite a few are. It’s pretty obvious when you hear what topics consume their attention these days.

Just returned from a vigil in front of the local Planned Parenthood. I would say over 50 people attended.

Well, I don't know...
OK, but only abortions for Negroes, the way Planned Parenthood's founder, Margaret Sanger, intended.

“President Obama was breaking with the tradition set by his recent predecessors to make an abortion-related order on the anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling, another example of his attempt to support liberal policies he believes in while trying to defuse emotional political debates.”
So what we should thank him for giving the kids a 24-hour reprieve?

Yep, my pastor has yet to say a word about his opposition to abortion after Obama got elected but boy has he been spewing the idiocy about “Global Warming”. My pastor was one of those fools that signed that Combat Global Warming Pledge while people like Obama are endorsing abortion.

When we are funding money to kill evil dictators and terrorists overseas, we are bad. But now that we are funding money to kill innocent babies, we are good.
I would say “may God have mercy on this country,” but I’m afraid we’re pass deserving His mercies.

Well, last Sunday was Sanctity of Life Sunday and as a Southern Baptist, I spoke hardly about that life begins at conception. I do not classify Rick Warren as a Southern Baptist, Rick jumped the shark years ago.

They are afraid of (1) losing the tax exemption, (2) being disliked by liberals, (3) church income downturns, and (4) their own shadows. The evangelicals should start holding their conventions in Casper, WY, as they are like “Casper the Friendly Ghost”.

Apparently your pastor got the memo. Gay marriage and abortion divide Americans and poison nonbeliever’s hearts to hear Christ. Evangelicals need to move beyond social issues and find consensus with non believers to save the world. Once nonbelievers see how worthy evangelicals are, they will accept Christ. - the Rick Warren way.

Speaking in the kinder gentler voice just ain't cutting it. How about bringing back the old Hellfire and Brimstone sermons.

Compromising morals and patronizing nonbelievers give out mixed signals when there is only one way. We need the divide to separate right and wrong.

I was not kind or gentle, we showed a video about Life! Some of us still honor God’s Word!
