Palin's former Pastor: GOP may be downplaying her Pentecostal faith

[Heracles 417]

What does that have to do with it? Many people are religious on paper - its not uncommon.

Yes on paper, but he was not a practicing Christian.

Yes because clearly the extermination of people is part of Christianity. He also went to church on a regular basis right

I won't hold anything against you considering you are from Maryland after all. lol

Apparently you're uncomfortable with the concept of "evidence" to support a claim. Additionally, the demonizing of Jews was pretty much official Church policy (Google "blood libel" for example) around the time of Hitler's formative years; his antisemitism didn't just pop out of nowhere after all.

Read up on your history....

It is.

I have and more people have died at the hands of atheism. Stalin alone accounts for nearly 60 million deaths.

Which would be more than the that of most other wars and leaders combined.

Edit: Nowhere in the bible does it talk about exterminating others.

Where is your evidence that he was a practicing Christian?

Extremely.

Extremely, it would seem.

Is that the same evidence you provided to support your claim that all white men are basically evil and responsible for the evil in the world.

I can see one white person responsible for this kind of garbage. You.

Now you can be an example I use.

It's even worse than I thought.

Fundi Christian is bad enough...

4-Square/Pentecostal is much, much worse. And very, very freaky. About the same level as snake-handling.

Snake handling... Sorry I don't agree at all.

You always stereotype Christians. I could stereotype people too but I realize it's not good to and not usually correct.

Does anyone realize the church she goes to now is non-denominational? It's not the same church that she grew up in. Anyway I don't really care about all this. I bet if she said "Ommm" and meditated all the time she'd be considered progressive and cool. But because she might be pentecostal, people are freaking out. Wow.

Atheism is the absence of a belief in god(s), it isn't an ideology. Nothing was ever done "in the name" of it. The same cannot be said for countless gods and religions through the ages.

I wouldn't say freaking out. More like shoving this in Republican faces the way they shoved Obama=Muslim and Rev Wright into Democrat's faces.

Of course, all non-issues, but there's nothing else to talk about, which is what both candidates want anyways.

Hard to say - given that Hitler used a publicly professed love of Christianity to justify his crimes.

[chri'stina 190]

People should only focus on the bad done by people claiming to be religious. Don't ever think about the good that has been done. Mother Teresa, pfft! Others who have done wonderful work like that, who needs em? Feeding the poor and hungry? Orphanages? Hmm.

All the Pentecostals I know are "out there." All they do is walk around saying stuff like "Repent now or you will go to hell." And I say "I already know I'm going there."

Well as Republican I never for one minute believed the Obama=Muslim ####### nor shoved anything in anyone's faces, nor believe that Obama agreed with everything Wright preached.

Stereotyping again.

So you have nothing basically.

[chri'stina 190]

There are crazy Christians and not crazy Christians. If pentecostal is used as a denomination it might be different from the word pentecostal which refers to the pentecost in the bible and what happened there, which I believe in. So call me pentecostal if you want. That can add to my list of labels...let's see...right wing zealous pentecostal ignoramus( I just add in that last one for fun:)).

This country is so far divided and I don't know if it's ever going to get better, I think only worse.
