Al Gore Baptist of the Year?

My head just exploded.

[stevio]

What difference does it make? The guy is not basing it on reality anyway.

[xzins]

Do you think that maybe there were just three attendees at the New Baptist Covenant meeting....Clinton, Carter, Gore?

The first 2 elected the last to be “Baptist of the Year.”

:>)

"Grisham criticized Baptists who believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God."

Oh yeah, here is a novelist who is qualified to pick the Baptist of the year. NOT!!!!

[DannyTN]

"Al Gore and his family are widely known to have been Baptists. What is less publicized is the fact that they were Southern Baptists. In an interview published in The New Yorker in September 2004, Al Gore and his wife Tipper Gore revealed that they had left the Southern Baptist Convention, having felt pushed out by increasing levels of ultra-conservative fundamentalism and intolerance. "

Al Gore Religion

This is a great example of why we have so many Baptist churches. As soon as this type of nonsense starts, the Bible believing Christians leave.

Al Gore - Baptist of the year...

That's great! He must have won a lot of souls for Christ, spent a lot of time helping the poor, praying over the sick, counseling people, wow. I can only imagine the crown of glory he will get for all the many demonstrations of his deep faith in Christ our Lord and savior.

*snort*

Grisham is a liberal leftist suck up Democrat. His ties to criminal activity are obvious to those of us from the right in Mississippi. How in the Sam H@$$ does one think he got all of the ideas for his stories? Right now some of the criminal lawyers in Mississippi are getting exposed but its just scratched the surface.

Al Gore 'Baptist of the Year'

So they pick "Baptist Of The Year" based on whose house burns the most energy then?

"Do you think that maybe there were just three attendees at the New Baptist Covenant meeting....Clinton, Carter, Gore?

I don't think you could get any of those three egomaniacs to vote for anyone but themselves.

[fungoking]

I wonder if the $390 Al Gore gave to charity was his tithe to his local SBC church? Not too literal on tithing. I bet they were sorry to see him go.

LOL!

Why...that would be....George W. Bush!

(sorry, he's a methodist)

The whole bunch of them are going to see “cosmic warming” up close and personal.

Three guys found themselves in Hell: we will call them Huck, Mitt, and John.

They were a little confused at their present situation, and they were startled to see a door in the wall open, and behind the door was perhaps the ugliest woman they had ever seen. She was 3’4”, dirty, and you could smell her even over the Brimstone.

The voice of the Devil was heard, “Huck, you have sinned! You are condemned to spend the rest of eternity in bed with this woman!” And Huck was whisked through the door by a group of lesser demons to his torment.

This understandably shook up the other two, and so they both jumped when a second door opened, and they saw an even more disgusting example of womanhood gone wrong. She was over 7’ tall, monstrous, covered in thick black hair,and flies circled her.

The voice of the Devil was heard, “Mitt, you have sinned! You are condemned to spend the rest of eternity in bed with this woman!” And Mitt, like Huck, was whisked off.

John, now alone, felt understandably anxious, and feared the worst when the third door opened. And as the door inched open, he strained to see the figure of ... Cindy Crawford. Delighted, John jumped up, taking in the sight of this beautiful woman, dressed in a skimpy bikini.

Then he heard the voice of the Devil saying:

“Cindy, you have sinned.”

Moral: We’re being punished, too, with John.

I hearby appeal to the LHP to declare this thread a “Neener Friday Frolicks” Thread. (Humbly, of course.)

Thank you so much for the chuckle!

LOL! I heard that joke before, only the players were Hitler, Idi Amin, Khruschev, and Marilyn Monroe.
