I suggest that bohemiansf use the word "woofter" or "queer"

[andrew_693]

well he says he is a christian and he convinced his herd by using the bible, I guess there must be a child rape message in that book because a lot child molesters use it all the time and it works wonder as we can see.

Wow! I wonder if this guy got his inspiration from Mohammad? Didn''t he also have a taste for young girls?

[carlylaine]

Gadszooks! When I read what the thumpers write-I get so ticked off. Sanctimonious wretches.

When I read what athesists write...I think this is a group that needs to .... IN OTHER WORDS ALL YA''LL MAKE ME SCHIZOPHRENIC!!!!!!

To CBSNEWS: Please please please stop write about religion. It brings out all manner of freaks. And I find that I am one of them.

Just because Bush and Cheney are irresponsible criminal politicians doesn''t make all politicians irresponsibile and criminals.
Likeways, because this man is a criminal pastor doesn''t make all Christian pastors, or Christians either for that matter criminals or evil.
Mass generalizations are what caused the holocaust.
Respect where respect is due and punishment for criminals would deal with this situation correctly.

The Bible talks about people like this guy.They are called false prophets.This is not a true believer of Jesus.

[bohemiansf]

I''m sorry, is *** (four letter word for "happy" used to refer for homosexuals) now a dirty word on CBS News? Can we even say homosexuals on here now? Wow. McCarthyism''s back in vogue all over the place it seems. I guess I''ll be getting my news elsewhere.

[bohemiansf]

These are the same types of people who are against equality for *** (even though this country was set up by our founding fathers to be based on separation of church and state and equal rights for all). Evangelical Christians are un-American fantasists no different than Charles Manson, Jim Jones, and Islamic extremists. It''s all the same type of sick behavior, no matter which God they claim (or claim to be).

why are so many christians pedophiles ?

[jerr11]

Crooks and sleazeballs use religion for their nefarious designs and that includes neocons Karl Rove, George Bush, and ******** Cheney who exploit the Christian right for their greed.

4184 Dead Americans (so far) for Halliburton and Bush''s cronies.

War is great for no-bid contracts!

Scytherius: You have reduced yourself to a puppet. Evangelism is terrible?

Evangelism only means sharing your faith. Jesus told all his followers to do this. It is a must for Christians.

Anyone who decries evangelizing is uninformed about what Christianity is about.

[caliengineer]

Interesting, what they are saying. People from his church say he allowed no sexual perversion at all.

A neighbor said no such antics were going on.

The members are saying that Alamo preached against the Vatican and the Jesuits- who Alamo said were manipulating world events.

Listen to the current speaker there, Alberto Rivera, a former Jesuit. Rivera talks openly about the power of the "vaticano", which means "center of the Divine". He''s on YouTube. You MUST listen to Rivera. You will be stunned.

"For without the law, there is no sin." Book of Romans.

"The more corrupt, the numerous the laws." Tacitus.

The real crime isn''t that he did this this to a 9 yr old girl. The crime is that her parents stood by and watched, and did nothing.

"People who trade freedom for safety deserve neither." Ben Franklin.

After all the wierdos we have seen, why are people so gullible? Common sense.

[norepubs]

He''s a republican. No doubt.

[robaldrich]

cataivy says: ''So his real name is Bernie Lazar Hoffman, and as a fake name he comes up with Tony Alamo???????''
-------------------

WHAT! ''FAKE'' name? This is America. Americans generally have the right to be called what they want, and to legally change their name to anything they like as long as the change is not done for fraudulent reasons.

Any person, including the police, can Google ''Tony Alamo,'' read one of the 352,000 responses, and learn that Mr. Alamo''s parents named him ''Bernie Lazar Hoffman.'' The Google responses said Mr. Alamo changed his name in 1966 for purposes relating to his singing career. Forty-two years later, the use of the Alamo name hardly constitutes fraudulent conduct.

Isn''t that Palins pastor?
