[Siouxz]

Oh, good Lord!

[j_k_l]

God has tremendous grace and patience other wise this dude would be ash.

[highlander_UW]

Oh, good Lord!

Well said. It's too bad this guy is the face of Christianity to many in the world.

[DeweyCA]

I have never seen nor heard this guy but it sounds like he just wants Christians to have the same right as any other group to stand up and speak their voice in the democratic process. Why is it wrong for conservative Christians to have the same rights as liberals to try to vote in people who represent their values?

[MineralMan]

Ah, the Raging Prophet! I've seen him on TV. He makes Pat Robertson look like a wuss. This should be interesting.

[wallcrawlr]

...opposed to gay marriage and critical of Islam

Sounds good to me.

[MineralMan]

You can watch a one-hour video of him talking about this here. I don't know if FR will make the link automatically, but you can paste it into your browser. Windows Media.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Well, I agree with his political stands but I doubt I agree with his religious views. (How did he get a $1 million dollar home?) He's as welcome as the next guy I say what he thinks. Let the people of Ohio judge for themselves. That Ronald Carstens guy sounds pretty smart.

[TommyDale]

Quick! Send him your "seed money" so he can buy some more Mercedes and another guarded mansion.

[Revelation 911]

Oh, good Lord! Siouxz

God has tremendous grace and patience other wise this dude would be ash. j_k_l

ARTICLE: opposed to gay marriage and critical of Islam hopes the effort he calls Reformation Ohio will convert 1 million people to Christianity, help the poor and register 400,000 new voters.

- so can we assume non religious types like yourselves are for gay marriage, Islamo-friendly, anti Christians in favor of disenfranchising citizens of thier right to vote

Because - if not - Im not really hearing what your beef is with this guy - other than the fact he is on television

[AuH2ORepublican]

Here's another one for your Ken Blackwell pinglist

[add925]

“Sound an alarm. A Holy Ghost invasion is taking place,” Parsley shouted at the Statehouse rally, to enthusiastic applause. “Man your battle stations, ready your weapons, lock and load.”

Perhaps he should consider a more stealthier approach. No sense telegraphing your intentions to the Libs.

Do like the lock & load bit, though.

[RockinRight]

Ping!

[Matchett-PI]

"Isn't that special?"

[Slump Tester]

I used to live in Canal Winchester. Never been to his church, but I heard they charge to park!

[NeoCaveman]

Doesn't this guy know that religion can only be used as a tool to:
Increase welfare spending
Raise taxes
Increase regulation

Shame on him for not being current with DNC Gospel according to Marx

[PeterFinn]

Ditto. He's opposed to the queers, the Islamonutbags, and the libertine liberals.

I guess that's over the top for some folks on here.

Too bad.

You misunderstand me. I have no problem with Christians having the same rights as liberals. The problem is with this particular guy putting himself out as the face of Christianity. He's one of the TBN crowd...you know, the network of false prophets and heretical teachers.
