Former members say Pastor Chan Chandler gave them the ultimatum, saying if they didn't support George Bush, they should resign or repent.

LOL! I doubt that the pastor said that.

He probably said that if they supported candidates who advocate abortion, they should resign or repent.

Hummmm, Sounds like there is more to this story than we are being told....

Ya gotta love the Southern Baptists!

A few weeks ago FR had a list of ideas that would immediately confirm that a person who believes said ideas is a liberal. I can't find that list and could use it to send to my liberal daughter who wondered if I knew what a liberal believes (I know, but I need more ammo). Help! Anyone know how to find it? I tried the search but no luck.

East Waynesville Baptist asked nine members to leave. Now 40 more have left the church in protest. Former members say Pastor Chan Chandler gave them the ultimatum, saying if they didn't support George Bush, they should resign or repent.

I often pause to wonder just what it is about the left that makes them so hostile and paranoid about Christians. Then somebody like this guy comes along and reminds me that yeah, some people are so far over the top that they even seem wacky to me.

I doubt this is the whole story, though. I imagine it was something more along the lines of not supporting pro-abort politicians.
