I’m a Southern Baptist, so I have no idea who this group even represents. Who are Lebanese Baptists?

Gore is not even a real part of the liberal Baptist wing. He has infiltrated that as well.

And the Dem circus continues with the cons at the whip...

With an acknowledgment of Providence, Gore tethered his speech to his moral vision

Brought to you by the same people who gave America Mike Huckabee.

This illustrates how mainline Protestant churches have lost their way.

How large is that paint brush?

It must be huge to be able to paint such a broad statement.

I’ve always believed Rev. Lovejoy on the ‘Simpsons’ was a character based on Al Gore.

In 2004 Gore was particularly vocal in his message that “global warming” was more dangerous than international terrorism. Bill Clinton supported this idea in a couple of key speeches that year. Since Republicans were seen as strong on national security the Democrats needed to come up with a boogie man that would give kids worse nightmares than 9/11 and Bin Laden.

“Global warming” serves the cabal of crooks at the United Nations as a way of relieving Third World potentates of their responsibility for the poverty and misery of their citizens. “Global warming” puts all the blame on the industrialized countries. This all works to the financial advantage of Gore and his cronies.

I find it troubling that the author would Quote Luke4:24 when refering to Al Gore.Gore’s certainly no prophet in the Biblical sense.He’s a huckster and a thief,a snake oil saleman getting rich off of false science.

"I find it troubling that the author would Quote Luke4:24..."

Troubling but not surprising. These people will do anything to advance their agenda...that includes infiltrating the church...most definitely infiltrating the church would be a priority if you want to bring it down.

Is the ‘Baptist Center for Ethics’ like “Catholics for a Free Choice’ - three apostates with a fax machine?

If Algore is a Baptist, then I’m Herbert freakin’ Hoover!!
That Gaia-worshipping piece of elitist slime is going to be sitting in the Smoking (and burning, and screaming) section when he shuffles off this mortal coil.

Yes, however you recall in Scripture the warning about “wolves in sheep’s clothing” right?? When folks do not READ AND STUDY Scripture they are willing dupes for just about anything. In today’s society no one wants to take time to do something (like study and read) it’s like they expect to absorb or learn information by osmosis.

"... he seems to be a typical southern baptist in the mold of jimmy carter and bill clinton."

'Seems to be' being the key words?

After a trip to Ireland, I wore a Celtic cross to a family get together for a family member that attends a southern Baptist church and I got 'glares' from their pastor, so I'm no favorite of our local Southern Baptists. But even I can tell that Gore is a fake Christian. It's not that hard to tell...he's part of the world commie party that wants to eliminate all religion. How stupid can people be?

You know Bill Clinton is a Baptist too, ....

Actually, Bill Clinton went the Methodist church... a big difference.

Who is Robert Parham?

On Sept 25, 2005 he wrote, "If President Bush had only listened to America's real Christian leaders, then our nation would not have had 1,923 military fatalities and 14,265 soldiers wounded in action. The nation would not have wasted over $200 billion in Iraq. Iraq would not have an upward estimate of 30,000 civilian deaths. The world would not suffer the consequences of the American-created terrorist training camp in Iraq."

On January 2, 2007 he wrote, "The war in Iraq is the preeminent moral issue of our time. Make no mistake. The American public opposes the war for pragmatic reasons. It isn't working. The reasons given for it were false. The promised progress was a lie. No victory is near. The public doesn't need more understanding of the issue. The public doesn't need to be more patient. The public does need moral clarity that informs their growing opposition to the war."

On January 11, 2007 he wrote, "The Republican Party's domestic policy... favors the rich but opposes a living wage for the poor and affordable, accessible health care to all."

He also shared what he thinks of his denomination, writing, "Baptists are much more than Southern Baptists, who are more southern than Baptist, more exclusive than inclusive, more theocratic than democratic and more negative than positive."

On Feb 5, 2007 he wrote, "Will Christians hear the experts and heed the scriptures? Or will Christians listen to the know-nothing hosts of hate radio and be intimidated by semi-literate, global-warming-denying fellow congregants? Will Christian leaders avoid offending the corporate chieftains concerned only with immediate profit? Or will Christians recognize that global warming will harm the poor more than the rich?"

He's a fan of the Dixie Chicks, writing on June 5, 2006 that, "The Dixie Chicks deserve applause from America's new moral majority--those who said the war against Iraq failed to pass the time-honored code of just war theory and those 56 percent who now say the war was the wrong thing to do."

He led a purportedly Christian based attack on Wal-Mart on behalf of unions...

This is a loonie leftist giving an award to another loonie leftist.

Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.

Now the question for my fried brain today is where did I steal that line? Was it PT Barnum or WC Fields?

Based on this item and my own experience with watching the Methodist Church’s slide.
