When you breach the sacrosanct wall between church and state, and use religion to promote policy, bad things happen. At least, that's what the left has been telling us for years.
But Rev. Jim Wallis, editor-in-chief of Sojourners magazine and author of "Rediscovering Values: On Wall Street, Main Street and Your Street," sees it differently. Wallis used his interpretation of religion, particularly the Bible, to play the populist card and categorize portions of the American private sector as greedy on MSNBC's Jan. 21 "Morning Joe."
"These bank bonuses, I would say, are a sin of Biblical proportions," Wallis said. "But to pick on the banks alone misses the point. It's a symptom, I think of a real erosion of societal values because new maxims have taken us over - ‘greed is good,' ‘it's all about me and I want it now.'"

Jim Wallis is a false teacher who preaches the heretical social gospel of liberation theology.
Obama is simply looking for a new revenue source by taxing the banks.
The first step in placing a tax on the banks is to demonize the banks and wall street.
This is nothing different than Obama demonizing hospitals, pharmaceuticals, health insurance, and doctors as part of his plan to tax healthcare.
Obama is a demonizer!!!!!!
Yep.
I didn’t think this thread was about tax evasion. I thought it was about someone thinking that others had too much and it wasn’t “fair.”
Religion is just his gimmick. Every few years he comes out with a new “revelation”. The last time it was the emergence of “The Religious Left”.
Evangelicals are the most conservative people in America.
It is pretty helpful for liberals when they can cause this kind of confusion by mirroring back the words like Evangelical.
Amen to all that you say. It’s merely a gimmick - these people are as much Christian as Obama and Rev. Wright are.
It does no good to get in a discussion with a fool.This Pastor meets that description.
Yes. I always thought that liberalism and Christianity were mutually exclusive. They mix like oil and water.
