Please waste your money. Polling must show they are at low levels with Christians.

Never heard of them before, but Obama has the money to buy anything even a so called Christian group for abortion and socialism apparently!

I was listening to our local country station in a 20 minute drive yesterday and I heard no less than 5 Obama ADs, 0 for McCain.

This group is from the devil. Pro-life, Pro-Obama...I don’t think so.

Republicans / Conservatives should face the fact that “religion” is not a wholly owned subsidiary of conservatives.

Black pro-Obama churches.

Islamofacist churches.

Scientology.

Wicca.

Presbyterian (gone far Left (GFL)

Episcopalian (GFL)

Methodist (trending)

Large chunks of the Catholic church (trending or GFL)

The list goes on and on of churches on the churches on the Left.

Then there is the “evangelical Left” or borderline which are simply nimrod pacifists who live in a dream world of Utopian peace and trusting brotherly love. They will rue the day they trusted the Marxists, though they won’t realize it until far too late.

Still, the number of Conservatives in “Church” America outweigh those that have gone to the dark side.

Not sure why we should care or focus on it on FR.

Brian McLaren (Generous Orthodoxy) is involved. That means by definition this is no more Christian than the Left-wing socialists at Sojourners. Communists galore, with misinterpreted Bible verses sprinkled all over it.

"Testimonial" from one of their supporters:

Testimonial from Anthony Christiansen in New York, NY
As a Catholic who is deeply familiar both with the doctrinal and the social teachings of the Church, there is no doubt in my mind that of the two main candidates Obama far better represents the spectrum of Catholic teaching. Our country deeply needs a change of heart - a conversion in Christian terms. The kind of change Obama is endorsing is that sort of conversion.(emphasis mine, tbp) Obama is the candidate for those wanting to champion LIFE in all its diversity. In addition to the Matthew 25 Network website, I highly recommend that undecided Catholic voters see the following links....

How's that for some scary stuff?

Folks, contact your local Christian station via fax or email and direct them to the Lifenews site. If we don't expose their lies now, they will in turn deceive many Christians who will take this fakery as truth.

Christians supporting and promoting the Christian Obama?

Obama believes in the culture of death --- Roe v Wade and abortion on demand. Nothing in the Constitution about a right to kill the unborn. Nothing Christian about killing the most innocent in our society. NOTHING!

This is a bogus attempt to twist Matthew 25’s story of the sheep and the goats into socialism. The idea is that individuals, poor, middle class or wealthy, are to help those less fortunate. It says nothing about forcing people to give to the government who then decides who gets the money. Pure theological hogwash!

We had some rather noisy strangers show up in church yesterday & sit in the back - I had a strong suspicion they were there to monitor the message for political(republican) content.

I wonder if anyone else noticed anything similar.

“Mara Vanderslice, for example, went from a staff job working for Jim Wallis to become the religious point person for Kerry. Kate Michelman, former president ...
www.thenation.com/doc/20041213/kissling “

“Jim Wallis” the socialist self-professed “evangelical” who writes for “Sojourners”, a leftist religious magazine.

The “Matthew 25 Network” listed “Endorsers” are:

Bishop John Bryant, Presiding Prelate of the Fifth Episcopal District, AME Church, Los Angeles, CA

Bart Campolo, Urban minister, Founder of Mission Year,
Cincinnati, OH

Ronaldo Cruz, Former Director of the Office of Hispanic Affairs, USCCB

Sharon Daly, Former Vice-President of Catholic Charities

Rev. Wilfredo De Jesus, Vice-President for Social Justice,
National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, Chicago, IL

Sr. Sharon E. Dillon SSJ-TOSF, Hyattsville, MD

Rev. Dr. Derrick Harkins, Nineteenth Street Baptist Church,
Washington, DC

Delores Leckey, Senior Fellow, Woodstock Theological Center

Former Director of the Secretariat for Family, Laity, Women and Youth, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops

Brian McLaren, Author and Pastor

Vince Miller, Georgetown University, Washington, DC

David O’Brien, College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, MA

Sr. Catherine Pinkerton, Sisters of Saint Joseph, Washington, DC

Peter Vander Meulen, Coordinator, Office of Social Justice, Christian Reformed Church, Grand Rapids, MI

Rev. Matthew Watley, Reid Temple AME, Glenn Dale, MD

Rev. Mark Whitlock, Irvine, CA

the above list is at: http://www.matthew25.org/

and from: http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/6/16/215535.shtml

“Here’s what we know about John Kerry’s religious outreach person. Mara Vanderslice was raised without any faith and didn’t become an evangelical Christian until she attended Earlham College, a Quaker school known for its adherence to pacifism.

“When in college, Mara was active in the Earlham Socialist Alliance, a group that supports the convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal and openly embraces Marxism-Leninism.

“After graduating, Mara spoke at rallies held by ACT-UP, the anti-Catholic group that disrupted Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in 1989 by spitting the Eucharist on the floor. In 2000, she practiced civil disobedience when she took to the streets of Seattle in a protest against the World Trade Organization. In 2002, she tried to shut down Washington, D.C. in a protest against the IMF and the World Bank.”

She, Mara, claims to be a self-professed “born again” Christian. When??????????? did that happen??? And, if it did, she appears to have lost her way.

Christian giving and socialism and contradictory concepts.
