The Devil means to change the language to confuse people.
This "Reverend" oughta stick to his neo-marxism and leave God to the believers and the theologians. Sheesh!
One thing to always be aware of is that when any so-called "religious" person talks about making a more "just" society, he is saying that "we believe that no matter how you may have accumulated what you have, you have too much, and we will take it from you so as to conform to our notions of 'fairness'."
Hmmm ... let's see ... the Dems promote the right to kill a fetus and the right to gay sex. One "right" has killed millions and the other "right" ... has killed millions. But they're the enlightened ones.
Kinda like how Jesus threw the lenders out of the temple?
Here is my only question, though the tidal wave is too big to stop anyway: Why do we believe this moral value story, coming as it did from the same EXIT POLLING company that LIED on Nov. 2nd? Why would they tell the truth now? I can't help shaking the feeling that this is part of their plot, to detract from the president's foreign policy mandate and say it was all about gays. I am not sure I believe it, although the social conservatives have eaten it hook line and sinker, since it flatters them. I am skeptical. Either way it's a loser for dems, but I am still skeptical.
Oh - he must be referring to the 45 million aborted American babies currently not receiving healthcare.
Dear Robert,
Please keep believing that it's only about changing what you say and not what you and your supporters preach from your pulpits; that is when you actually use the bible to preach instead of the "I'm ok, you're ok" white papers that your "clergy" use as text.
Until you get the message that there are absolutes that God expects his followers to adhere to, you're going to continue scratching your head and believing that simple language changes and buzzwords will make you seem more palatable.

^^ By the above, I didn't mean I disagree with you about the injustice of marxist socialism, I'm just saying that the Bible does send some mixed messages, in my opinion.
God helps those who help themselves "Reverend".
"The religious right has successfully gotten out there shaping personal piety issues — civil unions, abortion — as almost the total content of 'moral values,'" Edgar said. "And yet you can't read the Old Testament without knowing God was concerned about the environment, war and peace, poverty. God doesn't want 45 million Americans without health care."
I would say that because "moral values", in his words, are what prevents thangs like environment, war, peace , and poverty from being the overblown issues that they have become. For me, it is about, faith, responsibility, duty, and honor that prevents moral decay which has led us to our current welfare state and appeasment of terrorists debacle.
Evidently, there are many pages missing from Edgar's bible.
To see these libs try to embrace and explain their "morality" while not offending their base is like watching a game of Twister.
Has he read about Soddam and that other place I can't spell?
The God of the Old Testament wasn't exactly touchy-feely.
"The Democratic Party seems almost embarrassed talking about family issues or religion," he said
CAn't imagine why. They have Billy Clintoon and Jesse Jackson....they reek of family values.
Well, they REEK anyway....
I just love to be accused by a neocommunist of being able to manipulate language better then the lefties!
And, "morality" is a two side coin, on one side there are morlities and on the other, an absence of morality. Many folks didn't embrace Bush, they rejected Kerry and his lying, lazy, elitist arraogance. Kerry was a low quality,very poor candidate, a fact the neocommunists are still struggling to grasp.
