Christian Wire Service: "Jimmy Carter on the wide path to HELL!"
JIMMY CARTER GOING TO HELL?: I'm not making friends with this one, I understand that. But the truth is the truth, and the truth needs to be told.

Former President Jimmy Carter's recent interview with GQ magazine left the impression that Mr. Carter had given the authoritative word on what Christianity should look like in America today. He couldn't have been more wrong - or absurd. Mr. Carter is an angry old man, who if he takes his own advice on how to interpret the Bible or the basic understanding of Christianity - is himself on the wide road to Hell!

Article:
Jimmy Carter is at war with those he claims to be part of. How one does that and still seems to think he is part of them is quite curious. In the most recent edition of GQ magazine, the former president fired shots across the bow of those he disagrees with, declaring his own credentials to enter the fray and then warning of the dire consequences of not taking his side on the matter:

I'm one of the few people who have the Christian credentials to debate other Christians, and the political credentials of having been in the White House," he said. "I think it's incumbent upon me to speak out ..."

That, Mr. Carter, depends entirely upon the manner in which you speak. How exactly does one earn "Christian credentials" anyway? (And a bit of help here – let's not bring up your White House years – most Americans have tried to forget them.)

The former president is an angry man, and while he speaks convincingly of his ability to teach Sunday school at his Plains, Ga., church, an examination of the substance of his message is what actually needs to be considered.....

6. Who is that guy and where is his used car dealership?
Just want to know, so I can avoid it.

Doesn't that photo count as "flag desecration"?

4. Last time I looked
Carter actually lived the Christian life. As a Christian I'm more proud of him than I am of Robertson. So when are they going to get Robertson for calling for the death of a democratic elected president?

19. Here's a good verse with judgment
Romans 2: 1

1You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

12. Damning people to Hell is like eating potato chips for these guys
You can bet that the guy who wrote this routinely damns people in his own mind to hell. Give him a coca-cola at McDonalds with not quite enough ice and BOOM you are on the wide path to hell. Cut him off in traffic and you are on the long elevator ride to hell. I would bet that he damns trees to hell for shedding their leaves on his lawn. These fundies are off the hook, bat shit crazy.

13. The way I've always read it in the Bible...
The minute you say someone else is going to Hell, you're on your way yourself......

15. Blow it out your ass you false church of the Anti-Christ scum!
These evil Pharisees and Hypocrites are as opposite of what Jesus taught as is possible.

16. I, for one, am trying to forget the years immediately following Carter.
Ronald Reagan and the GOP slime trail that has been his legacy ever since.

17. The rancid stench of a new swift boat campaign being launched
President Carter's book scares the bee-geezus out of them. The neo-cons pumped a lot of $$$$ into the fundie churches via faith based initiatives (illegal campaign contributions) to ensure a huge voting block, litterally telling the parishioners how to vote from the pulpit. The last thing that the cons want is for christians to reflect upon their spiritual life and what political policies Jesus would have supported and which he would abhor. Must. Follow. The. Message.

Look out, soon there will be a renewed smear of Carter's foreign policy.

22. Yeah, if Jimmy Carter's going to Hell, sign me up.....
Most of the same fundies believe Ghandi is already there. Some of them even believe Martin Luther King would be there because he was an alleged "communist" (Don't ask me where they got that shit, but Jesse Helms used to say it all the time)

So if that's the case, Bon Scott was right. Hell Ain't a Bad Place To Be.

Just tell me I can plug in my air conditioner, and that Satan's got a microbrewery and I'm there :evilgrin:

21. Jimmy Carter actually LIVED as a Christian while he was in the White House
....and that's why these republican fascists hate him. As if Rambozo the JellyBean eating clown, Poppy and Chimpy had the slightest idea what the teachings of Jesus Christ meant?

23. Progressive Christians - Go to Crosswalk.com and rebut!!!
Notice the link on this Pharisee's site to "Forum's"? It goes to Crosswalk.com. Crosswalk.com has had a raging debate filled with Right wing Christians against a few progressive Christians. If you are a progressive Christian and want to impact the message of these Modern Day Pharisees this forum is one of the places to go. Go to the "Current Event's" forum.
