Christian Cowards: Why Don't Evangelical Leaders Condemn the Hate
Spouted by Right-Wingers?
By Frank Schaeffer, *former* Christian Right founder/activist
Since when does loving Jesus mean you have to hate our President?
Prominent Christians should denounce the violently aggressive language
right-wingers use to tear down Obama.
Excerpt:
There will always be hate-filled nuts on the fringe of any movement;
left, right, religious or secular. No one in leadership should be blamed
for their fringe -- unless they don't speak up. Post "Tea Parties",
"Obama isn't a real American", and all the rest it is strange and
disturbing to witness the silence of the evangelical leadership in the
light of so much venom directed against our President by a largely
evangelical Republican base.
This is shocking to me, given that for much of my life I was not just
the son of a famous evangelical leader (Francis Schaeffer -- "credited"
by Max Blumenthal and others as a founder of the religious right) but
for a time I was also his sidekick and a leader in the evangelical world
in my own right.
I quit over the slide of the religious right into extremism. That said
I'm still a believing Christian (non-evangelical and progressive) and to
see the name of Christ used to promote hate outrages me. To see the
Bible used as a political bumper sticker source (for whatever "side") is
an affront.
You would have thought that evangelical leaders with their oft trumpeted
respect for the Bible would have spoken out in one loud united voice
against the misappropriation of the Bible when a verse from the Psalms
(109:8) was used recently on T-shirts and bumper stickers in a way that
seemed to call for the removal (at best) and the death (at worst) of Obama.
Here�s what is in the Psalm they quote as part of a "prayer" for Obama:
"May his days be few; may another take his office!"
Here are what the other verses in that Psalm call for (in case you
didn't "get" verse 8:
Verse 9 "May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow!"
...The media need to ask tougher questions. The religious leadership
needs to be put on the spot.
Is loving Jesus about hating our President? Is "respecting the Bible"
using it as a mine from which to take prayers for death and destruction
and bandy them about in the context of lies about our government? Is
this moral leadership?

I don't think that Christians hate him, they just want to stop this
Socialist crap and get him the hell out of the White House.

Does BO come from a mainstream church?
NO. He comes from a liberation theology cult church.
Does BO come from a WORKING MAN'S BACKGROUND?
NO. He comes from a rich FOREIGN family.
Does BO come from AMERICAN ideals?
NO. He comes from A SOCIALIST/TOTALITARIAN BACKGROUND PICKED UP IN
SOCIALIST/TOTALITARIAN COUNTRIES.
Does BO come from a mainstream state?
NO. He comes from HAWAII (which is practically a foreign country).
Does BO believe in capitalism and private enterprise?
NO, HE IS A STUDENT OF MARXISM/CAPITALISM.
And so on, and so forth.
In OTHER words, BO IS THE FRINGE, you idiot.

From where I'm standing, the BO is coming from you, MORON.
Notice no attempt to address the points.

We can see that.
Ask Ike, the fundy Christian with scrambled brains, about his addiction
to porn.
Porn is for the most part harmless.
However, an addiction to making up your own reality,
as we see Ike doing above...well, that can be
very serious indeed.

It's the obvious hypocrisy of the ignorant right wing anti-gay,
abstinence-only sex police Christian Right "family values" crowd that
stands out.
Reminds me of this quote:
"Life in Lubbock, Texas, taught me two things: One is that God loves you
and you're going to burn in hell. The other is that sex is the most
awful, filthy thing on earth and you should save it for someone you love."

Cite one thing above that isn't true.
THAT'S the reality.
Ike
Oh, I'd like you to support just about
any of the above: that Obama is
a student of Marxism, that his ideals
derive from totalitarianism, that his
church taught liberation theology --
even that Hawaii (pretty much Las Vegas
with a nice ocean view) is not a
"mainstream state" -- whatever THAT
may mean.

It means Obama has nothing in common with the vast majority of Americans.
It means Obama has nothing in common with Christians.
It means Obama isn't even INTERESTED in American ideals like self-reliance
and maximum liberty.
It means Obama is barely an American.
How some people could be so blind as to not see this, I have NO idea...
...but I wouldn't be expecting it to happen again anytime soon.
There are a lot of people, especially independents, who are now asking
themselves "what the hell did we do?"
Ike
So? He gravitated towards a wide spectrum of political
activists according to your own post. This does not
make him a 'student of Marxism".
>

Actually, you ass, Marx predictes a revolution
of the proletariat against the ruling class: exactly
the opposite ot totalitarianism.

Sure do, dumbass. I've been a fan of the Catholic priests in Latin
America who attempted to better the lot of the poor
against the interests of the dicatators for a long time
now. And by the way, "liberation theology" and
"Marxist liberation theology" are not synonyms;
There is more than one flavor. But the centrel
tenet is to do as Jesus commanded when it
comes to the poor.

Making friends does not mean he was embracing that philosophy. Maybe
he wanted a healthy debate partner. Is this "politics makes strange
bedfellows?"

What? An American? A Vet? A Christian?
You're right: BO DOESN'T have these things in common with me.

"Spoilsport" has nothing to do with it, you ass.
SAVING AMERICANISM does.

Nevertheless, I don't have problems with BO's race or sex--I HAVE PROBLEMS
WITH HIM AND HIS SATANIC DOCTRINES.
And do you have a problem with Protestants?

Oh, it'll be changed alright.
Question is, will it be soon enough to save America?
So, is this the best you can do? Make some false accusations? Divert to
irrelevancies? Call ME un-American when it's your boy who is the Communist.
And I would like to know what the "Protestants" comment was about.

Oh yes it is. Marxism is for equality for the worker and that doesn't
happen in a totalitarian state, so both points are moot.

I don't have to. Besides being a part of a black majority, nothing is

Americanism that includes black people knowing their place is not the

More stupidity, bigotry and power plays have been executed in the name
of right-wing nut Christianity than any other religion in the world.

Oh yes. the same kind of Tyranny that John Wilkes Booth thought he was
stopping when he killed Lincoln.
Do try to stop progress by bad-mouthing people trying to change things
for the better. You join a long lines of idiots that thrive on keeping
a group of people down so you can feel better about yourself.
You are a bigot, just like Booth, just like the KKK, and just like
every wing nut loser that has to make himself feel good by putting
others down.

All religion is a lottery. All we poor mortals can do is hope we have

If I am labeled that way because I care about my fellow human than
what you think doesn't really matter to me.
When I look into the mirror I have no regrets over how I contribute to
the welfare of my fellow human being.
Idiots are another matter completely.

And the notice how YOU had to change the story from
"To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends
carefully. The more politically active black students.
The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors
and structural feminists."
-- in other words, Obama sought out an entire spectrum
of activist views, all over the ideological map -- to

Oh, doubtless our Ike here still hasn't gotten
over the fact that all of his hysterical pre-election
posts, in which he loudly insisted that the polls
were meaningless and that McCain was going
to walk away with the election, proved to be just
as silly as they seemed to be on first reading.
A typical example:

this kind of thing -- in thie thread:

The fundie Christians hate him simply because he is black. They can
deny this all they want, but their bigotry is obvious. All the
political
stuff is just repitition of what their leaders tell them. Just like
their
religion, they don't have to think about it that way.

Yes, lesson well learned: One should never underestimate the gullibility of
foolish people and their propensity for being taken in by con men.
They're learning now, aren't they?

Excuse me? Political dissent is un-American? Political activism
is un-American? Blacks, feminists, and Chicanos aren't
Americans?
Does your denunciation of dissent and protest extend
to the Teabaggers too? Are these anti-Obama
activists un-American?
I seem to recall that this country got its start
in a rather spectacular display of political
dissent. Were the Founders un-American too?
Seems to me that your definition of what
is "AN AMERICAN" is "Smeone like me".
Reality, thankfully, is much richer than that.

You're not talking about "dissent." You're talking about "overthrow."

It is when the intent is to CHANGE the system to a new system ENTIRELY, not
streamline it.

Blacks, yes. Feminists, yes. With as many illegal aliens as there are in
this country, Chicanos, pretty much no.
However, BO isn't even a mainstream black, and feminist are a cult minority.
(This is pretty hilarious. I said BO IS the fringe. Now you're helping me

All of them.
And the greatest consistent mistake in the history of mankind is relying on
GOVERNMENTS to do folk's bidding..inevitably, the people wind up doing the
governments' bidding.
The framers knew this.

LOL
What an idiot. The "conformists" are the morons trying to RE-ESTABLISH the
intrusive government that the founders WERE TRYING TO AVOID.
America was BORN of "non-conformity," i.e. DON'T LET GOVERNMENT DO YOUR
BIDDING...IT'LL TURN BACK ON YOUR HEAD.
Now comes the morons trying to re-establish what the framers were trying to
CUT OFF.
Ike
So why is it that either government cares too much or doesn't care at
all. Why can't there be a medium here?
So like, you like Darwin?
Survival of the fittest and if people cannot cut it-too bad.
Why does civil rights have to be legislated. Why not rely on the
innate good in humankind to get along and let all have a slice of what
they are due?
I will vote for less government when this comes to pass. As long as
there are idiots out there actively trying to prevent other people
from getting their just due then legislation is needed.

If nothing good comes from government why are you

Uh, that IS Government's job, duffus--make laws for the protection of the
state and enforce them.
What's NOT in the Government's job description are entitlements, social
engineering, micromanaging people's personal affairs, interfering in family
and religious beliefs, etc. (especially when it's as unholy as the world's
governments are doing it): That's the path to "antichrist."

Ah, you're a fan of Mr. Paine too? A wise man.
Here's some more of his wisdom:
.. Whenever we read the obscene stories, the
voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous
executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with
which more than half the Bible is filled, it would
be more consistant that we call it the word of a
demon than the word of God. It is a history of
wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize
mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it,
as I detest everything that is cruel.
[Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason]
..but the Bible is such a book of lies and
contradictions there is no knowing which part to
believe or whether any...
[Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason]
I do not believe in the creed professed by the
Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek
Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant
Church, nor by any Church that I know of. My own
mind is my own Church.
[Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason]
..we must be compelled to hold this doctrine to be
false, and the old and new law called the Old and
New Testament, to be impositions, fables and
forgeries.

Hmmm...looking over the thread mentioned --

that we'd all see in the end that only you,

Oh, don't be such a drama queen.
The British had one of the more democratic and
responsive governments in the world at that time.
They had the history of the Magna Carta,
they had a House of Commons determined
by popular election, they had a Parliament
which was fully capable of defying the King,
they had a long and deep history of common
law which protected the common man.
Our democratic institutions did not appear
out of thin air, they grew from English tradition.
The Founders were not freeing themselves
from some kind of Soviet-style dictatorship
when they rebelled; they had simply come
to the point where they could set up their
own government, and there wasn't, in the long
run, a whole lot England could do about it.
Pol Pot was an "OVERLORD". Stalin
was an "OVERLORD". Hitler was an
"OVERLORD". King Charles, and the
Parliament, were nothing of the sort.

Reality is a *very* plastic thing for you fascist godbots, isn't it?

Civil rights, women voting, segregation of the armed forces. All is

They were a product of their times. Women were property and black
people were property. They never intended for either of these groups

Name for us the country whose government you admire most.
Actually a lot of our rights come not from legislation
but from the courts. Civil rights, womens rights, privacy
rights, marriage rights, gay rights. Sometimes Congress
follows suit, as in civil rights, and sometimes they just
quietly acknowledge the new status quo, as in miscegination
laws and voting rights. But conservatives are quick to
appoint judges who will reflect their core beliefs and block
nominees who don't.
"A wife is to subordinate herself to her husband."
"The woman is to place herself under the authority of the man."
James Leon Holmes, nominated to a federal judgeship by the
Bush administration and confirmed by the Republican Senate.

It's not.
It started out as a group of different systems--Arpanet, Bitnet, private
commercial operations like CompuServe and AOL, etc--which eventually melded.
So everyone who participated (including me) built the system, NOT "the
government."
(I was doing this on mainframes and bulletin board systems using UNIX and
PASCAL before there was ever such a thing as "the World Wide Web," back when
everything was separated, i.e. email, fetch, LISTServers, etc, etc.)

Ike
Oh? Well, then, why don't you correct
my historical misinformation?
Here, I'll restore the part you fled via
snippery:
The British had one of the more democratic and
responsive governments in the world at that time.
They had the history of the Magna Carta,
they had a House of Commons determined
by popular election, they had a Parliament
which was fully capable of defying the King,
they had a long and deep history of common
law which protected the common man.
Our democratic institutions did not appear
out of thin air, they grew from English tradition.
The Founders were not freeing themselves
from some kind of Soviet-style dictatorship
when they rebelled; they had simply come
to the point where they could set up their
own government, and there wasn't, in the long
run, a whole lot England could do about it.
Pol Pot was an "OVERLORD". Stalin
was an "OVERLORD". Hitler was an
"OVERLORD". King Charles, and the
Parliament, were nothing of the sort.
...and then you make a list of
the factual misinformation you find
therein. ''

Turns out that God wants you to go along with
whatever government is in power, because God
Himself put it there:
1 Let every person be subject to the governing
authorities. For there is no authority except
from God, and those that exist have been
instituted by God.
2 Therefore he who resists the authorities
resists what God has appointed, and those who
resist will incur judgment.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct,
but to bad. Would you have no fear of him who
is in authority? Then do what is good, and
you will receive his approval,
4 for he is God's servant for your good. But if
you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear
the sword in vain; he is the servant of God
to execute his wrath on the wrongdoer.

Why? I'm informed, and you are the religiously ignorant. The irony is in

God made ONE way.
Satan made many.
And it's Satan's intention to gather "the many" (such as yourself) to
Jerusalem through globalism, as Ezekiel saw...
Eze 8:8-12
Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall.
And when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they
do here.
So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and
abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon
the wall round about. And there stood before them seventy men of the
ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah
the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud
of incense went up.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of
the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his
imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the
earth.

Only in the most presently passive sense: If one doesn't respect authority
when the wicked "sit in Moses seat" now, why would they respect authority
when Jesus and the saints are sitting in them?

No. Not "put it there," but "allows it for now," as Jesus said to Pilate,

First of all, this is from Paul, not God.
Second, it speaks of passive tolerance of the governments of men.
Third, it was written long before Paul's confrontations with Rome.
Fourth, THIS is what God has to say about the governments of men (then as
now)...
Dan 7:15-27
I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the
visions of my head troubled me. I came near unto one of them that stood by,
and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the
interpretation of the things.
These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise
out of the earth. But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom,
and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from
all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails
of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his
feet, and of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which
came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a
mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his
fellows.
I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed
against them until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the
saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the
kingdom.
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth,
which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth,
and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of
this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after
them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three
kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear
out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and
they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of
time.
But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to
consume and to destroy it unto the end.
And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the
whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High,
whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and
obey him.
And again...
Rev 11:16-18
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats,
fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, saying, We give thee thanks, O
Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast
taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. And the nations were angry,
and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged,
and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to
the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest
destroy them which destroy the earth.
Why would the nations be angry at the second coming of Jesus Christ?
Because, as Daniel prophesied, God will TAKE AWAY their rule, and turn
everything over to Jesus and the saints.
This takes us right back to what Jesus said, as I quoted earlier: The saints
are not to take on mannerisms of the nations and their wicked top-down rule,
but to serve from the bottom up WITHOUT their evil hierarchies.

Perhaps any foolishness was entirely in the statements you allege were

As an agnostic, I hold it foolish to claim certainty in what I cannot

Why do you hate freedom?
Let's have a civil conversation - just a suggestion. I know the difference
between "inspired" and "dictated", but
what we objectively know is that all of the bible was written by men. Your
personal beliefs that selected parts were inspired by a god are not, as far
as I know, not in evidence, but I am certainly willing to be corrected.

I cut the rest of the post and noted the cut as is the accepted custom.
I did that because there was only one part of your post I wished to comment
on. Once again I express my hope for a civil conversation without
gratuitous
insults.
I look forward to seeing your argument for the truth of the above.

Modern Conservative: Someone who insist that government
pave his roads, protect his borders, inspect his food, deliver
his mail, provide his social security benefits, maintain his
local police and fire departments and collect his garbage so he
can spend his days ranting on a government-built internet about
the evils of "big government" and demanding that we "get the
government off our backs"
"Know the truth and its roots. The book of God is our guide"
