Obama has been preaching from the day he started campaigning except from the Alinski book, not the Bible. He only uses the Bible when it suits his purpose and wants to get the congregation fired up. Can I get a "hallelujah" anyone? Maybe an "amen" or two. Praise Obama and pass the stimulus money on down. Let's not hear any jingling in the collection plate, only the rustle of high denomination bills and checks. There you go brothers and sisters. Remember, I throw the money against the wall after every service. What sticks to the wall belongs to the church, what don't is mine! Praise be!!! So, what else is new?

If they speak about politics and take sides, they need to be reported. They should lose their tax-exempt status. If my pastor started spewing liberal garbage from the pulpit, I would tell him, privately, that if I hear it again, I will report him to the IRS. Fortunately, I haven't heard anything like that. However, now that my synod has approved gays in committed relationships being pastors, I will probably be leaving that church anyway. Sigh. The churches are tax-exempt.

Let the congregation have a voice (if just through applause). It’s a shame that you didn’t stay long enough to at least exchange ideas. Let the congregation have a voice (if just through applause).
