Jerry Falwell, who the hell do you think you are, condemning others.

[madfloridian]

I just saw this column by him condemning the new Christian Alliance for Progress, which I most admire. I am/was a Southern Baptist, a recovering one because of people like him. He makes me angry because bigots like him have hurt my former church so much.

Here is his pseudo righteous column about the group, which I think he must be a little afraid of now. This was written to the Moral Majority.

Another Group Arrives To Combat the ‘Religious Right’

SNIP..."Last month, a new leftist religious organization announced its inception to battle the alleged domination that Dr. James Dobson, Pat Robertson and I have on modern-day politics. This organization, the Christian Alliance for Progress, is hardly “Christian.”

You may say, Falwell, that’s a pretty harsh statement. Well, let’s take a look at this new group so we can determine if they are actually exhibiting the precepts of true Christianity.

(How dare you set yourself up as judge?)

In announcing its formation, the Christian Alliance for Progress unveiled what it called its “Jacksonville Declaration,” an open letter to the political and church leaders of the religious right, which “challenges and invites them to return to a Christian foundation of compassion and justice, values that Jesus passionately taught and lived.”

"...the Christian Alliance for Progress says it will “speak out when conservative Christians misrepresent the gospel to support their misguided political positions.” These positions include “equality for gays and lesbians” and “honoring the sanctity of childbearing decisions through effective prevention, not criminalization of abortion.”

It sounds like the Alliance got its talking points from Howard Dean. The group is simply falling in line with untold numbers of past liberal church groups that have promoted abortion-rights, homosexual rights and anti-war sentiments...."

You self-righteous hypocrite! You and Rev. Moon deserve each other.

4. Vintage Falwell

Same 'ol biggot I've always known. Would it not help the cause of international understanding for our news media to label our religious extremists the same way we label Islams religious extremists?...a little, very little, campaign of mine. Why not: "Radical Cleric Jerry Falwell said today that yada yada..." or
"Radical Cleric James Dobson aka 'The Doctor' spewed forth about yada yada today."
Why is 'radical cleric' a monicker only for 'them'.

[Warren DeMontague]

6. OTOH, I'd never heard of this "Christian Alliance for Progress" until now.

They sound great.

:toast:

9. They are just getting started. Sign up for their emails.

I am just learning more about them.

7. The values of the Christian Alliance are so much better:

Here are my favorites, and so different from Rev. Falwell's.

Compassion and Care for "The Least of These"
We follow Jesus' call to compassion and his command to "love your neighbor as you love yourself."

Justice for All
We stand against powerful systems of human injustice in our world as Jesus stood against them in his.

Equality and Inclusiveness
Like Jesus did among women, tax collectors, Samaritans and others, we reject hurtful exclusionary distinctions between "us" and "them."

Faithful Stewardship
We follow Jesus' call for responsible stewardship - caring protection for the environment and sharing of our worldly treasure.

Right Use of Power
We turn away from fear; we use the power of God that flows through us to protect the innocent and build justice in the world, not to coerce others to our will or force others to accept our vision.
