Washington Post Religion Blog Attacks Governor Palin Again

The Washington Post Religion blog "On Faith" is the most useless thing I have seen. After now watching most of the writers for the past 6 months it is apparent they know nothing about the religion of most Americans or for that matter much about their fellow Americans at all. It is curious but it seems most of their writers just hate Governor Palin. Their Catholic writer is in the tank for Obama and writes alarmist pieces all the time and basically called Palin a slut, they had a female Theologian that said Palin must be asked if "submitting to her Husband" would mean that he would be the actual VP, and now we have more crap from Deepak Chopra .

We know we are going downhill all ready with the title Witchcraft and the White House.

Let us analyze this:

If Joe Biden and Sarah Palin aren't asked about religion in their upcoming debate, that would be healthy. The fact that the right wing has profited handsomely from the religious issue doesn't make it fair or even constitutional.

Mr Chopa is not a Lawyer but he did stay in a Holiday Express once!!! How in heavens name is asking a politician about religion unconstitutional?

Nor does it offset the harm they have done. The Constitution kept God out of politics in order to avoid the inflamed conflict that has mired this country since the Reagan revolution.

Good Grief!!!! Again he needs to go read the Constitution

Therefore, I'd like to see the moderator for the next debate ask Sarah Palin if she gained the governorship of Alaska by exorcising witches at the behest of an African minister who prayed over her.

Hey I would too. Average voters would balk at that and Palin would hit out of the park and make the person asking the question look like a idiot.

The YouTube video that shows that event is embarrassing enough, but my intention wouldn't be to embarrass Palin further. My intention would be to point out the absurdity and wrongness of turning religion into politics.

For those that are not up to date there was a visiting Minister from Africa that was attending Palin's Church. He wanted to pray for her and he said something about witchcraft which is a part of the African scene. It appears that people expected Palin to interrupt the service and lecture this Minister that there is no such things as Witchcraft or in essence be rude.

As a Catholic, Joe Biden is entitled to hold beliefs that would disturb practicing Buddhists, Muslims, and atheists. Whatever position he takes on Jesus as savior of the world should be private. Sarah Palin should also be allowed to throw chicken bones in the privacy of her living room. But Palin, riding the crest of right-wing fundamentalism, insists that religion become a litmus test. Having done that, it's her own fault if she is exposed for her primitive beliefs. Being as far out of the mainstream as she is, the public should find out the truth.

Palin is riding a crest of Right Wing Fundamentalism? What? When did she insist Religion become a litmus test? Link as they please. HER PRIMITIVE BELIEFS? Out of the Mainstream? Please note this the Religion blog for the Washington Post one of the most important papers of record for the United States. Heck I hope I don't run for Office. I believe every day Bread and Wine become Body and Blood and ask Saints to pray for me, and I think the Virgin Mary appeared to Three Kids in Portugal and because of the prayers she commanded the Soviets were defeated.

Getting God out of the voting booth is a process, and hopefully that process took a step forward with the revelations about Palin and her belief that the Almighty awarded her the governorship as a kind of gold star for church attendance. The drawbacks of such a view are enormous, but most people don't see them.
What? Notice here he wants people in making their choice and in voting to divorce their faith completely!!! Needless to say this goes against Catholic doctrine big time

- If success in this world means that God loves you, then he must be punishing those who aren't successful. Poverty, for example, means you have offended God. Armed with that logic, there's no reason to pass social legislation to help the disadvantaged.

I have no clue what is he talking about here. I know very few Christians even those with "primitive" beliefs that think this

Once intolerance toward unbelievers becomes God's will, true believers can oppose and harm their opponents as much as they want. A loving God becomes a God of exclusion and social division. It goes without saying that we've been seeing a lot of that over the past few decades.
Intolerant toward whom? Examples please!!! Who is being intolerant here.

In the end, my innate desire to leave Sarah Palin in peace is something she wouldn't accord to others -- Communists, Muslims, atheists, probably Catholics -- if she had her way. Should she land in the White House, she'd have her way as never before. The bottom line is that we have been tolerating her ilk, including George Bush, for a long time, and yet they proudly march under the banner of intolerance. If we can back away from using God as a political propaganda, we will also see a decrease in the number of intolerant religionists who manage to reach the corridors of power.

Disgusting. Oh no we Catholics we need to be afraid of Sarah Plain. She is going to put us and the Muslims in concentration camps. What in the world is this based on. Again his hatred is enormous and what is funny and sad is he can't see it

Update One Final Thought. I hope this guy never goes to the Lincolm Memorial he might have a stroke to see what is inscribed up there

"Fondly do we hope - fervently do we pray - that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue, until all the wealth piled by the bond-man's 250 years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said 3,000 years ago, so still it must be said, the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."
