Yes, yes, yes. But for the most part the American Jews will still vote for John Kerry, along with most of America's muslim population. Kinda ironic, huh?

an expression of hard-core loathing for the United States and the West, with Israel as a stand-in for America.

Ah, yes -- the Great Satan and the Little Satan. This is the apparently the Wahabbi branch of Presbyterianism.

I don't see how the WCC has any credibility at all. It has been conclusively proven from old KGB files released after the fall of the USSR that they were nothing more than a front group for the Soviet Union.

I mean, it's pathetic. *growl*

The report, covering the years 2000 to 2003, found that of 197 human-rights criticisms by mainline churches and groups, 37 percent were aimed at Israel and 32 percent at the United States. Only 19 percent of these criticisms were directed at nations listed as "unfree" in Freedom House's respected annual listing of free, partly free, and unfree nations. So Israel was twice as likely to be hammered by the mainliners as all the unfree authoritarian nations put together.

This really captures the essence of the problem. Radical leftist groups have insinuated themselves into the hierarchy of many of our mainline churches, and certainly the hierarchy of the NCC. The veil is being lifted, and the agenda of these groups is made clear for those who wish to see it.

Pray for those who are still in these dead churches, and practice "church choice" by joining a bible-based living church (such as PCA rather than PCUSA, AMIA rather than ECUSA, etc.!)

PS: The Roman Catholic Church is so huge, that perhaps someone else can comment on the current status of the battle between the pedophile Marxists and the faithful within the RC church.
