St. Louis - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry is quoting the Bible to question President Bush's claim to be a compassionate conservative.

Kerry campaigned from the pulpit today at New North Side Baptist Church in St. Louis.

He told worshipers, ``The Scriptures say, 'What does it profit, my brother, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?''' The Massachusetts senator added, ``When we look at what is happening in America today, where are the works of compassion?''

Kerry noted that three (m) million jobs have been lost since President Bush [related, bio] took office.

Kerry is Roman Catholic, but has chosen to ignore the pope's directive that Catholic politicians do all they can to stop abortion. In an interview with Time magazine, Kerry said, ``I don't tell church officials what to do, and church officials shouldn't tell American politicians what to do in the context of our public life.''

ACLU, Americans United For the Separation of Church & State, where are you guys? These groups are nothing but RAT shills.

Kerry told the 3 million jobs lost lie in church???? Folks, step back from the lightning rod.

[smonk]

he's much improved since he referred to scripture as
"clauses" in mississippi.

the lease contract for my SUV has clauses . . .but NOT
the Word of God.

This is not going to sit well with the pope.




Heheheheh.

"Kerry campaigned from the pulpit today at New North Side Baptist Church in St. Louis."

I'm sick of the double standards. I also question a religion that allows someone to campaign from the pulpit.

Looks like Mammon wins over God in this one.

If I were Kerry I wouldn't do that. He is not exactly on the Pope's good guy list!

APuke prints ANYTHING that this bozo says - anything...

BTW,

here's one for Kerry:

Kerry is Roman Catholic, but has chosen to ignore the pope's directive that Catholic politicians do all they can to stop abortion. In an interview with Time magazine, Kerry said, ``I don't tell church officials what to do, and church officials shouldn't tell American politicians what to do in the context of our public life.''

~What profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul?~

[alwaysconservative]

And what does it profit a man's soul to claim belief in the Catholic theology and yet condemn millions of children to death by abortion?

And why is it that only Republican politicians are not allowed to speak in churches?

[maryz]

where are the works of compassion?

Anyone ask Kerry where his own works of compassion are? As I understand it, he typically donates $00.00 to charity. One year he slipped and actually gave $135.00 to ??? Questioned on it, he explained he had two kids in college; as Howie Carr pointed out, however, that same year he found $6,400 to buy a motorcycle.

On a related note, Howie Carr also ran a couple of segments (I didn't catch the whole thing) asking for people who've met up with Kerry in his "Do you know who I am?" mode; he found plenty of people willing to share.

This from a man who thinks the fourth disciple was Ringo.

ROTFLOL!

There's nothing worse than an armchair Christian who quotes scripture out of context.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Kerry wants works with other people's money. Amazing.

[CyberAnt]

RELIGION ?? SMIDGEN - THIS IS A VIOLATION OF ELECTION LAW!!

[bethelgrad]

Hey JFK, I can prooftext with the best of them. "Thou shalt not murder" (Exodus 20:8). Abortion is murder. You support abortion. Therfore: _____________

[OpusatFR]

Only for conservatives (;

It's like Animal Farm.
