Have the Presbyterians Lost Their Conscience?
American Thinker ^ | 6/17/2006 | Brigitte Gabriel

The Israeli/Palestinian conflict continues to be played out on the world stage of politics in a theater of highly charged emotions influencing public opinion. In the latest act the world has suddenly realized that western civilization is now fighting the same murders and suicide bombers that Israel has been fighting during this 60 year drama. Names like Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Huzballah, Islamic Brotherhood, once only associated with the Arab/Israeli conflict, are now identified by intelligence services worldwide as terrorist organizations operating in the West. Their goal is to destroy our world in an Islamic Jihad, forcing those who survive to be Dhimmi— subjugated and despised ones.

Previously the world was oblivious to terrorism and terror tactics authored and perfected by the late Palestinian mass murderer Yasser Arafat and his Fatah militias bent on killing Jews and driving them into the sea. Jewish blood was 'cheap' in the eyes of the world. Western countries didn't reprimand Palestinian perpetrators as Jewish blood flowed on the streets of Tel—Aviv, Jerusalem, Afula, and other Israeli towns. It wasn't until 9/11 that the world was stunned and shaken to its core, at the depth of hatred harbored in the hearts of Muslim Arab extremists.

Today religious and civic organizations are rising up united to condemn and work against terrorist organizations killing innocent civilians and justifying suicide bombing under any name.

Sadly there are organizations who have lost their conscious, their judgment between good and evil, and chose to work, support and even defend these forces of evil and intolerance allying themselves with killers. One group is the Presbyterian Church USA, or PCUSA.

In the last few years the PCUSA leadership befriended Husballah..."

Without a doubt. I got some of their anti-gun propaganda a few years ago. It just regurgitated the same garbage that’s been thoroughly discredited over the years. They have lost sight of the prime directive and have just become a haven for the blame America first movement and surrender to the terrorists now movement.

Which means they've fully gone over to the dark side. Nothing says "I want you dead" more than civilian disarmament.

I missed that in the PCUSA. I was gone by then.

The PCUSA not only lost its conscience, it lost me.

Sloppy headline writing by the editor; at least the writer got it right in the 4th and 5th paragraphs.

The Presbyterian-USA isn't a Christian church.
Its a social club.
The PCA, the Presbyterian Orthodox Church, the Free Presbyterian Church are fine churches.
The PC-USA is not.

It’s in the religion topic, those topics won’t work there. If the mods moved it from news to religion, the topics would be lost.

Presbyterian Church USA,

At the top they have been under the control of Marixst, Socialists and Communists for at least 20 years. The “Presbyterian Layman” carried on a fight against the leadership for years. It appears they have failed to remove the Anti-American element that have seized leadership of that church..

Supporting any enemy of the United States is just consistent with the PUSA Leadership objectives.

PCUSA leaders apparently have lost their consciences. The people in the pulpits are often unaware of the shenanigans of the leadership. Although many churches are paying dearly to divest themselves from PCUSA.

It’s an ugly situation. Clifton Kirkpatrick, the current Clerk of Session is a leftist moonbat.
