Who has the worst pastor? 1
So now that the right-wing media have had a go at Barack Obama about his Pastor, now the left-wing media is having a go at John McCain’s crazy pastor too (although it’s not really clear whether it really is his pastor or just a guy he shook hands with on stage).
Let the battle begin: Here’s the video.
Brave New Films invites you to meet: Rev. Rod Parsley, the televangelist megachurch pastor from Ohio who hates Islam. According to David Corn of Mother Jones, Parsley has called on Christians to wage war against Islam, which he considers to be a “false religion.” In the past, Parsley has also railed against the separation of church and state, homosexuals, and abortion rights, comparing Planned Parenthood to Nazis.
Wow. He sounds friendly.
On Beliefnet, David Gibson seems to regret that political leaders in the US are forced to create a distance between themselves and their religion to make themselves electable (he is talking about Obama not McCain).
Seems more to me like they are forced to align themselves with one crazy faith or another to even be considered for nomination. I wish America’s leaders wouldn’t lend credibility to all the nonsense that goes on in the name of faith.
gets even better. check out rev. john hagee…who has been discussed on alternet and other sites…and has his own TV show and megachurch.
