FaithInCowboys


Here we go.....

They are going after everything and everybody.



Oh Jeez, not this $hit again ...


You know, the problem that I have with you christians is that NONE of you have a pastor-priest who's got the Guts or Moral Integrity to have you IRS 501 (C)(3) Federal Tax-Exempt Contract read from the pulpit on Sunday morning, or else printed on the Church Bulletin.

You KNOW I speak the truth.

And THEN there are the Christian Conservatives who threaten to elect Kerry-Edwards because President Bush hasn't endorsed those wackos on Family Radio to broadcast from the Whitehouse Oval Office even Sunday morning.


You are, as a group, a complete bunch of dolts.

If your Holy Spirit is as intelligent as you claim, AND you're so in tune with the Alimghty, THEN why do you folks constantly get involved with scandals like this, or worse yet, have to have a Marine Sargent's Boot up your But to try to get you folks in VOTE in a Presidential election.


Now's here's the kicker. I believe in The Almighty, and that He created the Heaven-Earth in Seven Days, like the Book says.

BUT in my 49-year old lifetme, I've seen more Bravo-Sierra with respect to Christians, their Churches, their Business, their actions as Co-Workers (PUKE ALERT) as to make me 99.99999 disgusted with the entire lot.


So why don't all you Christians do us all a big favor. Get an advance ticket to The Rapture, so the rest of us can die horrible deaths because we never accepted the pathetic "Light" you offered to the World with one hand, while your other hand was reaching for our wallets.

Don't assume all Christians go to Church.
I am, I don't.

Please come down of your self-appointed riser.

What happened on the day after the Seven Days, and how long is a Day?

Now once again you prove you cannot read with understanding. Also "IF" you had read you would know that it was WRITTEN that there would be many that would come in Christ's name calling themselves "Christians" reason for it and what the result would be.

You are no better that those you cannot stand.

A couple of years ago I was looking around the PTL/TBN website, and between Jan's gift shop and the pagan temple edifice they were bragging about, I couldn't tell which was worse. The gift shop was selling all sorts of Holy Land trinkets, the kind of stuff you see hawked by local vendors, and you shake your head in disdain. Rocks/sand from Jerusalem, "holy" oil, and other "laughing all the way to the bank" items.

Come to think of it, I saw even worse stuff on a visit recently to St. Pauls cathedral. They must have swapped Paul the Apostle out for Paul Crouch. The spirit of TBN is worldwide.

Patton@Bastogne,
you really should do a call-in with Frank Pastore on his radio show
(www.kkla.com).
I think the two of you would make for a chapter in talk-radio history!
I'm being sincere; one of Pastore's major raps is his push to get the
evangeli-fish to register and to vote.

I'm a Catholic. I don't watch the show, but I believe that it is like the 80s again. Where the secular Left will go after the Religious Right.

Er, contract? What on earth are you talking about? I can just about guarantee you that my church has no such thing.

I understand your sentiment. I am just as disgusted with the money-first, Christianity-second mindset of these tele-hucksters. It turned me off to church for a long time, and I suffered spiritually because of it. A few years back, I ended my exile and started going to church again. The Pastor and congregation are wonderful, spirit-filled people who would bend over backwards to help anyone in need and are the most well-adjusted, level-headed people I've ever met.

My point is this: Not all pastors and preachers are in it for the money and power - there are PLENTY of them out there who are honest, God fearing people whose main objective is providing a good example for others and to show people they can live free from a life of sin and hate. They just don't make the news, that's all.

People like the Crouches and Benny Hinn make me physically ill. They do far more damage to Christianity than we will ever know. It's up to all Christians to do what they can to rid the World of hypocrites like these.

Good Christians exist and there are many of us out there. Just don't tar all of us with the same broad brush, OK?

Just because someone calls themself a Christian, doesn't mean there are one.

Being a Christian has nothing to do with churches, it has to do with a personal relationship with Christ.

And I agree, that there is very little Christianity to be found in mainline churches these days. If you feel the need to fellowship with other Christians like yourself, try a small non-denominational church. I've found the Calvary Chapel Churches to be true to the Word.

But don't let yourself be discouraged by faux-Christians. Christ told us that there would be many demons who would come in the guised of light. It is your relationship with Christ that matters; not your relationship with men. You can be a Christian without ever setting foot in a church.

May the Holy Spirit guide you in your guest for Truth.

Well that's the bad news.

The Good News is: It's still the same Story and there's .1 of us left.
