Recently in the news adulterers Ensign and Sanford have in common an affiliation with The Family. This evangelical organization cultivates the wealthy and powerful as opposed to the broader public and has been doing so since 1935. They seem to operate on the theory that having power or lots of money is a sign that you have been "chosen by God". God, it turns out, is anti-communist, pro-capitalism, opposed to government regulation and kind of fond of a motley collection of dictators with considerable blood on their hands. Among the politicians who are on board this ship are Hillary Clinton (see http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2007/09/hillarys-prayer-hillary-clintons-religion-and-politics and http://www.thenation.com/doc/20080331/ehrenreich ), Jim DeMint (R-SC), James Inhofe (R-OK), Mike Doyle (D-PA), and Sam Brownback (R-KS).
Politics in America, it is either laugh or cry.

    Can I get an Amen brother and praise the lord..We know there are tons of false messengers out there..The two Jimmy's come to mind,Swaggert and Baker. I couldnt believe the way Swaggert was able to turn on those tears like a fire hose and make his congregation bust into their wallets and bank accounts to save his sorry ass.Then,he is caught again 3 months later cruising in his Jaguar and picking up hookers with a bunch of porno magazines under the front seat and again he says,Lord,I have sinned agaisnt you once again.Father can you find it in your heart to have these wonderful servants of yours dig deep into their family budgets and do what is necessary to help me overcome my sexual addiction and urges..Oh Lord help me thy servant of yours in this world ruled by the Devil that cursed me with an endless boner that wouldnt go down.Come people,open your eyes,open your wallets and give to the pastor swaggert desexification fund so I can rid thyself of this sinful boner once and for all Amen!! hahahahahaha

      Haven't heard much about Swaggart lately. Has the burden of guilt and the desire for sin been lifted from his soul?

      The idea is to go sin all you want then go to confession.
      You are forgiven and can sin again.

      • Father, forgive me for what I continue to do, and will confess about again. Do you take checks or credit cards here? - Enophile 16:51:16 07/02/09 (1)

        It's like conjugating verbs in Latin.
        
        Please forgive me for what I will be continuing to do and will not have regretted next time, either.
        
        I will continue to commit the same sin without remorse but will have benefitted from your benediction as some future time.
        
        Is there a verb tense for ongoing lack of sincere remorse?

        But of course..Its amazing how many people will twist a couple scriptures to serve as justification for their immediate circumstance.Sure God is forgiving but the bible doesn't say you can willfully sin and keep asking for forgiveness.Adultery is a good example of that.

        You mean the NREPC,(Non Receding Erected Penis Club)? Thats a great club.Part of what you pay in dues goes into a legal fund in case a member is confronted with a law suit by an irate insubordinate woman.
        
        The Devil made me do it your honor.LOL LOL
        
        Believe me there are plenty of good evangelicals I have met and I would never put them in the class with those sleezebals,Swaggy and Baker.
