You know, I don't usually rant on my blog. I can't stand blogs that are made up of mostly rants. Of course, people need an outlet for their anger, so I can understand it, I just don't want to read it. But I have to do a little ranting today.

This Baptist preacher is a dumb ass. Considering that I don't cuss much, this shows how angry this man makes me. He drove people out of his church when he stated that anyone not voting for Bush either had to "repent or leave".

Hello????

I thought churches were supposed to bring in the sinners, not kick them out. And besides, voting for someone other than Bush does not a sinner make. Everyone is entitled to their views.

This guy wanted to make "his" church into a politically active one. It isn't his job to force people to vote how he wants them to, it is to preach the Word of God and let people make their own judgements and/or mistakes. It is not up to him to judge others and according to this story is exactly what this preacher did. Made judgements based on politics and ran a bunch of people out of the church they had been attending for years.

It's sad.

Now he and his family have left the church and town. Good thing. He might want to go into hiding for awhile. There are a lot of people out there pretty upset at him and his views. He should let God judge us instead of doing God's job for Him.
