"The actions of the ELCA actually make sense if folks realize that the ELCA is a secular left-wing political party, not a Christian denomination. The ELCA's new god is a political god created in their own image.

"Talk to many ELCA bishops, pastors and leaders about salvation through grace alone, and the best you can hope for is a you-ignorant-Bible-thumpers-can-be-so-cute reaction. But talk about the Middle East, or the Federal income tax code, or Arizona's immigration law, or the Iraq War, or affirmative action, or any other hot-button political issue, and they come alive with fire-and-brimstone denunciations. Their true passion is leftist politics, not the Gospel."
