Richard Land condemned Judge Roy Moore's stand on placing the 1o Commandments in the Rotunda of the Supreme Court and is a member of the far left Council of Foreign Relations. He also is in favor of supporting government schools which according to George Barna are largely responsible for the loss of 96% of our children to the world. With friends like Richard Land we don't need enemies!

Your admiration for Ann Coulter is also reprehensible, you would ridicule Wallis, question Land and yet defend her - that's how twisted we've made Christianity in this country. Here's just a few direct quotes from Miss Coulter explaining her theology -//
"The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man’s dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet–it’s yours. That’s our job: drilling, mining and stripping. Sweaters are the anti-Biblical view. Big gas-guzzling cars with phones and CD players and wet bars — that’s the Biblical view.” //
“I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East and sending liberals to Guantanamo.” //
“My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building.”//
"If those kids had been carrying guns they would have gunned down this one [child] gunman. ... Don't pray. Learn to use guns."//
"Let's say I go out every night, I meet a guy and have sex with him. Good for me. I'm not married." // That's Ann Coulter - the darling of Hank and many others on the Christian right.

God did give dominion to us over the Earth. The left claims to be more christian by taking on the role of eco nazi but there are just as many liberals living in the lap of luxury as ther are so called conservatives. An eco nazi driving a gross polluting bomb to point fingers at other people at some demonstration is quite hypocritical. As a smog check mechanic, I learned that the odds of a car failing smog check are directly proportional to the # of eco nazi decals on the vehicle.
As far as self defense is concerned, we are to feed the hungry, not pray for bread to fall on them from Heaven, we are to help the injured, not simply pray for miracilus healing. When someone is being attacked, we should stop the attacker, not pray for some miraculus deliverence. This is why I would have refused to answer my re call to active duty if a liberal was president on 9-11. Kill the enemy with what? The gun you don't believe in?

If I read the Sermon on the Mount (Jesus' longest discourse) and the description of the 'ideal' Church found at the end of Acts Chapter 2, I find the teaching much more in line with Jim Wallis than say a Jim Dobson or most other right wing christians.// I think both Wallis and the right (you) allow thier ideology to influence their reading of scripture and that is unfortunate. // Your blanket rejection as unchristian of anything not in line with the republican platform is disturbing. // To continual refer to the left as materialistic is amusing - I see the right as doing everything possible to hang on to material possesions and money far more than the left - clearly in violation of the model set for us in Acts 2 and the Sermon on the Mount. // To have a right wing opinion is fine - to call everything else non-christian is a sad state of affairs on your part.

I guess I assumed we were commenting on the Christian communities (right and left). I agree with both of you on the left's hypocrisy on some of this in regards to their lifestyles. // However, and this is of course a blanket generalization not 100% -in Christian communities, evangelicals to the left of center, I believe, live a much more simple, giving lifestyle than the left.//It's the conservative churches that have million dollar budgets, focused primarily internally, with hundreds of $30,000 suv's in the parking lot on Sunday morning. // Hey that's fine, but we've come to say it's not only fine - it's Biblical - just like Ann Coulter says.

Define "conservative." What's its opposite? What is it often confused with? How do you know what it means? Does being big-budget makes one conservative, or vice versa? Does having an (R) make one conservative? Does the majority decide who's conservative and who's not?

To accuse the right of being materialistic when there are so many "Limosine liberals" running around is utter hypocrasy. The liberal stance that all of our problems are material is exactly what he is talking about.
The liberal mantra is:
There are no evil people, only peopl who are no getting paid enough to be good.

First off, The name "Jesus" is being given some special meaning. It is my understanding that in Hebrew, he is referred to as "Yo Shua" Or mare accurately, the proper English translation for his name is "Joshua". In Latin, he is referred to a "Hey Sues" and by apllying English to his name spelled in Latin, we come up with "Jesus". Thus, the name "Joshua" is a very common name. So one is forced to ask "Which Jesus are you talking about? The Left loves to say "Jesus was a nice guy!" I would reply.."Wrong Jesus! You speak of a Jesus who "Was". I speak of a Jesus who "Is!"
Liberal theology sends people to Hel well clothed, well fed, and assured that their sins don't matter. They feed the body and starve the spirit. Are we really called upon to "Keep our mouths shut and our checkbooks open?" One has to ask, how many in that crowed shouting "Crucfy him!" Did so because they were more interested in his health care and food programs than they were in his teaching?

"call a spud a spud'?! What does that mean and why change the orginal which we are all aware of? Is it a nicer way to say "call a spade a spade"? That derogatory phrase has it's modern origin (similar to 'black as the ace of spades') in a piece from, oh yeah a theologian (John Trapp) written in 1647 where he writes "Gods people shall not spare to call a spade a spade, a niggard a niggard." // Fits right in with Coulter. If you think Hank's twisted theology is right on, American Christianity is in big trouble, which we would probably agree on, just for different reasons.
