CNN: Palin pastor thinks GOP may be downplaying Mooselini's religious beliefs

[Bluebear]

Palin's former pastor says he has no doubt her religious beliefs will influence her decision making when it comes to government policy.

WASILLA, Alaska (CNN) -- For more than two decades, current Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was a practicing Pentecostal...

Palin's former pastor, Tim McGraw, says that like many Pentecostal churches, some members speak in tongues, although he says he's never seen Palin do so. Church member Caroline Spangler told CNN, "When the spirit comes on you, you utter things that nobody else can understand ... only God can understand what is coming out of our mouths."

Some Pentecostals from Assembly of God also believe in "faith healing" and the "end times" -- a violent upheaval that they believe will deliver Jesus Christ's second coming...

Pastor Ed Kalnin, the senior pastor of Palin's former Pentecostal church, has also come under fire for his comments. In 2004, he told church members if they voted for John Kerry for president, they wouldn't get into heaven. He told them, "I question your salvation."

"The Rapture", artist's rendition

[mwb970]

1. Yikes! That picture creeps me out.

It would make a great CD cover, though.

[FreakinDJ]

2. Check the plane crashing into the building

in the back ground

I have no use for "End-timers"

[MrMickeysMom]

5. Actually, it looks like it could be a back drop to a South Park episode

I mean, this is really something, isn't it?

:rofl:

[Canuckistanian]

11. I think they call it "Primitive Folk Art"

The same style as 'Grandma Moses'.

[Prefer]

19. I prefer this rapture image

[lynnertic]

23. hey - that cover art depicts flying saucers

on the side of good, with the butterflies.

[mwb970]

25. Wow!

That'd be worth buying just for the cover. I'd want the LP so the art would be a foot square instead of on a tiny CD cover.

[Forkboy]

3. The Rapture is apparently brought to us by Roland Emmerich.

[Patsy Stone]

4. Of course Palin is pro-Israel

No Israel = No Rapture.

[MrMickeysMom]

7. Hi Patsy!

I think of your quit wit and the KO group when I see your name. I wonder if you all celebrated with Rachel tonight. Guess I'll have to check it out.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

10. How great was she??

It really made my night to see her out there on her own. Just a spectacular TV moment.

:hi: Come by anytime, we're always open.

[ColbertWatcher]

6. Oh, well, why would anyone doubt this man's word?

The GOP is filled with liars.

[Postman]

8. These people are bat-shit crazy. Period.

Speaking in tongues? Only God knows what you're babbling?

There is no other word for it. Psychotic.

Faith healing huh.....Is that their first and only move after a cancer diagnosis? Jackasses.

[arcadian]

9. "Mooselini", THAT is gold. I'm gonna use it from now on.

[gratuitous]

12. Gee, Obama was hammered for WEEKS about Rev. Wright

I wonder why no one is demanding answers from Palin herself for what she believes. It sounds like she believes a lot of stuff that most Americans would consider fringe to the point of lunacy. Obama was pilloried over and over again for snippets of Rev. Wright's sermons; sounds like Palin would have a real tough time explaining what her beliefs are, even given a lot of time.

But I don't see the Today Show leading off a solid week's worth of shows about it. Can't imagine why . . .

[gblady]

14. it's pretty amazing....

while Keith and Rachael both discussed it on their show,
in a pretty tame manner I thought...
Barack was raked over the coals for weeks about his pastor...
and the things he said...

here is her pastor stating that she will definitely govern with her faith's views,
....which are Christian fundamental extremist views...

and not a peek from MSM.

[Bluebear]

15. Palin is an EXTREMIST.

Pass it on!

[FogerRox]

22. Palin is an EXTREMIST.

Pass it on!

[Art_from_Ark]

21. But then again, on Sunday morning

in my old neck of the woods, it was not uncommon to hear some Pentecostal minister on the radio speaking in half-toungues.

[ihavenobias]

13. Big K & R

[Cleita]

16. Mooselini! That's a keeper!

Leave it up to you to think up the good ones!

:thumbsup:

[Bluebear]

17. Tanyev's!

But isn't it golden??

[TahitiNut]

18. Amen. Perfect. Goes with "Busholini" perfectly.

Apt.

[WA98296]

20. Kicking, cuz "Mooselini" is too funny!

[JustAnotherGen]

24. It's creepy to me

Because it looks like the skyline of Rochester NY (my hometown) - to include the old Lincoln First (AKA) chase manhattan building, Bausch and Lomb, and Frontier . . . Right when you are driving in on 490 west and heading into downtown . . .
