In all of his supposedly biblical teachings, Drake fails to remember the tenet of Jesus himself concerning God''s law and Man made law. When questioned on this very subject, Christ stated that unless a manmade law conflicted with what God said in his commandments must be done, that followers were to submit to the rule of man''s law.

Scripture never stated that Churches were to try to intefere into wordly business or to become so grounded and invested in this earth that they took on the mantle of trying to remake the world.

In fact, in Ephesians scripture states that Christians are not to conform to the world at all, but they are to be transformedby the renewing of their minds.

Drake--Jesus said to render unto Cesaer what is Cesaers (his reply on the issue of law and taxes) when you break the law, you pay the price and stop thinking YOU are the church--you are not--the Church is the entire Christian body that actually upholds Christ''s teachings, the "church" is never a single man. Churches are trying to become to powerful and too involved in trying to take over and remake as to punishments...better go back and re-read scripture and this time don''t cherry pick. someone will indeed be punished for overstepping themselves--but I seriously doubt it will be people who uphold the law.

robertkjjj, I don''t know what a ''liberal brain-dead death-worshipper is. Seems to me that a believer in a fairy tale religion is more of a death-worshipper than your average liberal (not that all liberals are atheists). But yea, the Muslim Jihadists are just as bad as the Christians and Jews. Thats the trouble with ''faith'' and revelation as knowledge, anybody''s brain-dead beliefs are immune to reason.

canajan3, 3-4 years ago i would have agreed with you, but it''s now pretty apparent that we have to take these people seriously. look what they''ve gotten away with while the rest of us were telling ourselves that a bunch of religious nutjobs could never do any real damage. how wrong we were.

And as a typical Southerner (The South Will Rise Again!) I am a registered DemonCrap, but admit that I voted for JFK and Carter, and saw the error of my ways! I now only vote for Republican candidates, and never vote for a minister or clergyman. Every religion should forbid their rabbi, minister, clergy, and iman from running for political office.

Notice the slightly wall-eyed gentleman in the photo? Whoever he is is quite possibly on medication, like Valium, Quaalude, or Codeine, any of these depressants and relaxants frequently produces a wall-eyed, unfocused gaze in the user.

Testing, anyone?

My christian church forbids it''s clergy to run for any public office. I would never vote for any minister or clergyman who ran for any public office.

What amazes me is that a lot of you people actually take these over-the-top religious nutballs seriously. Only in America, and please stay there, OK?

wonder what the sermon topic is for sunday''s service: how islam preaches violence and death and must be stopped? how pro-choice advocates murder? how homosexuals are breaking down the fabric of civilized society? oh, and a really smart way of supporting your already fringe candidate, minister. should be smooth-sailing for huckabee now.

It sure seems like the Rev. Wiley S. Drake of the First Southern Baptist Church of Buena Park, Calif., is inciting terrorist activity and should be arrested.

While lots of people shoot their mouth off now and then and don''t really mean it, this fellow does mean it, and this type of appeal for murder or other harm should be prosecuted.

I don''t think that pretending to be a Christian should be proof against prosecution.

Ok, this clown was either too cheap to use his own stationary, and decided to steal the church''s in order to print his endorsement, or he wanted people to think that the church endorsed Huckabee, or the church really does endorse Huckabee.

None of these scenarios makes the church look like a proper church, and if I were Huckabee, I wouldn''t wait to see if it "blows over", I would call for a 5 year audit of the church, and an examination of the text on the stationary, to determine whether the church should lose its tax exempt status, otherwise, another candidacy bites the dust.

Actually, all churches should lose their tax exempt status, but that is another subject.

"Praise the Lord and burn crosses in your neighbors yards who don''t agree with you or look different, that is if you can''t lynch''em first."

This mentality must be a curse on the south for breeding human beings like horses and cows for generations.

"Persecute them... Let them be put to shame and perish."

Rev. Wiley S. Drake

At last the religious right wing exposes it''s ugly face. I thought Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson were bad, but this guy is the new poster child for being the most unChristian Christian in America.

On the bright side at least now we know what singingrick''s real name is.

;-)
