Pastor Praises Anthony Weiner: Moses And St. Peter Made Mistakes, Too (God Is 'GPS' to Him)
Washington Examiner ^ | May 28, 2013 at 1:25 pm | Charlie Spiering

New York Daily News reporters went to church on Sunday with disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner, who is seeking the redemption brand as he runs for mayor of New York City.

Pastor Phil Craig, it appears, welcomed the candidate with open arms to the Greater Springfield Memorial Church in Queens:

Weiner picked the modest church with about 30 people in the pews for his Sunday morning debut over the megachurches that are often popular campaign stops. Pastor Phil Craig welcomed Weiner with notes of redemption.

“I made mistake after mistake,” he said in introducing the candidate. “Moses wasn’t qualified … Ezekiel wasn’t qualified. Peter wasn’t qualified.”

Wiener explained to the congregation that God was like a “GPS” reminding him when he was off the right path.

So does he hit the synagogues on Saturday and Huma’s mosque during the week?

They used to describe God as the great Watchmaker.
Now, He is more like a watch, or perhaps a little navigation system. Kind of an amusing toy, I suppose. You can put Him on the shelf when He's not useful to you ...

Pastor Phil Craig must’ve graduated from the same seminary that graduated Reverend Al Sharpton.

Moses struck a rock. St. Peter denied Christ in his all too human moment.

Anthony Weiner is now on the level of Moses and St. Peter because of what he did? Really?

Some folks can’t come up with two moral tenets to rub together.

I’m thinking they both dropped out in their Freshman year.

Sorry Reverend but I just can’t picture God saying, “Recalculating”.

Just wondering the same thing. What is a Jew married to a Muslim doing in a Church? Not that he isn’t welcome and I hope he hears the Gospel there, but a little strange that he is campaigning there....

I suspect that the only “gods” that Weenie and Huma really worship are money and power, and this is a way to grab more of each.

Did Moses carve his junk onto some tablets? No, I didn’t think so.
