This is the KOOK that was on Hannity & Colmes tonight. He is the "new faith adviser" for Democrats like Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, etc. He is going to "teach" them how to talk about "their religion". In other words, he is going to try to FOOL VOTERS in to thinking Democrats are religious these days. PUKE!

Jim Wallis is editor and founder of the liberal evangelical magazine Sojourners.

Wallis also talks about the president's personal faith and how he is putting that faith into action. He worries that after 9/11, the president seemed to turn from being a "self-help Methodist" to a "Messianic American Calvinist speaking of the mission of America, and even of his perhaps divine appointment to be president at a time such as this." Wallis also criticizes the religious language and hymnology used in the president's speeches which is "often misused or often put in a different context and the meaning changed."

I saw this guy on Hannity & Colmes also. You're right, he's a KOOK. A fruitcake, with raisins for eyes.

If you ever encounter one of these people ask them what Jesus would think of abortion.

This hypocrite is straining at a gnat and swallowing camels, (make that elephants).

I just bet he is one of those Bible illiterates who thinks the Bible tells us not to judge, then doesn't quote the rest of the passage in Matthew 7.

He does not seem to be bothered by killing the unborn and the rise of the sodomite movement or other sexual perversion.

I believe we should help poor people and the truly needy, but it is like the Apostle Paul said,"if a man doesn't work, he is not to eat. How many times do you think this gnat-strainer has quoted that verse, less than zero ?

I saw this guy on FOX - what a piece of work. One of the problems is that the Dems grab onto government programs for poverty, environment etc. as proof of their owning the moral high ground.

The Repubs. have yet to adequately articulate the position that they have a better record of personal involvement in community and social issues and that this involvement is the stuff that social fabric and strong families is made of. Government solutions have been shown over and over to have created dependency and damaged the communities that they claim to help.

The Repubs hava also not articulated the superior and enduring role that private property ownership and economic incentives play in resource conservation over the horrendous unintended consequences of hardline regulatory approaches.

His recent book "God's Politics" zoomed to the top of amazon and is on the NY Times bestseller list.

It's amazing how many people with donkeys and some with elephants next to their usernames at http://www.christianforums.com have their very own interpretations of the Bible when it comes to morality or politics. They even have discussions explaining why homosexuality is NOT against what Jesus or the Bible says.

This strikes me as a very poor attempt at marketing. They're trying to say that they're not opposed to religion by hiring this fellow, when everything else they do only reinforces the truth of their hostility.

"And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming"- 2 Thessalonians 2:8

This guy will end up in the same place as the so-called 'Archbishop of Canterbury', aka Rowan Williams:

In HELL!!!

Here's a thought. In 2008, no one Republican mentions religion or faith, just talks about the values that such persons hold dear. Would make it all obvious, wouldn't it?

This guy acted on H&C like he'd just graduated from the Gore/Dean School of Venom. If this is their "spiritual advisor," they're even more doomed now than they were before!

The fact that the likes of Pelosi, Kennedy, Reid, and other Demo-socialists perceive the need for having a "faith advisor" speaks volumes about where they are coming from ideologicially. Remember that Marx originally said that "religion was the opiate of the masses." Of course, the Demo-socialists bought into that long-discredited creed hook, line, and barrel, but after essentially getting trashed in the election by moral, God-fearing Americans, they find that it has come back to bite them on the butt. Now they have to be advised on how to look devout and convince voters that "Hey, we're religious, too!" when they in fact sneer at the whole concept of evangelistic faith. Cynical and hypocritical to say the least, and thankfully they won't be fooling anyone with their shallow attempts at appearing pious.

Thanks. I could only catch part of it and I wondered who he was. He is rude and smarmy and will fit right in as advisor to the dems on "faith." A very unlikable guy.

He's definitely from the Jesse Jackson Church of the Presumptuous Assumption.
