Leaders of more than 50 nations gathered last week at the United Nations to discuss world poverty and the rising gap between rich and poor. President Bush was conspicuously absent. This “born again” president, who talks constantly about his relationship to Jesus Christ, skipped the meetings about helping poor people, but showed up to address the general assembly and brag about the war.
When a non-binding agreement was reached to try to help the more than one billion people who live on less than a dollar a day, Bush didn’t sign it. It must have sounded like a bad deal for corporations, and we all know that God is more interested in big business than in poor people.
He didn’t sign the Kyoto accord either, because he has discussed global warming with God, and knows that it’s all a socialist plot against big oil and free trade. He and Jesus must have had a talk recently about assault weapons and decided between them that every God-fearing man and woman who wants one should be able to own a machine gun, because an armed disciple is a safe disciple.
By rolling back years of bi-partisan environmental law designed to protect the earth which the Psalmist said belongs to the Lord, Bush has given the biblical concept of “stewardship” a new twist. “The earth belongs to Halliburton, and the fulness thereof.”
While everyone is arguing about the USA PATRIOT Act, there is another serious threat to the very soul of the nation that is getting far less attention: The Sermon-on-the-Mount-Suspension Act.
In a high-level, secret meeting at an undisclosed location, Bush and Cheney met secretly with the Lord (Bush, to his credit, did not want to have to answer questions put to him by Jesus alone). Cheney did most of the talking, and although not even the minutes of that meeting are available to the public, it was decided that faith, from now on, means that the president and God will take turn winking at each other.
Whenever the Lord says, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth,” Bush will wink and say, “But not the mineral rights!” And then the two of them will laugh all the way to the bank.
If the Lord says, “Pray for your enemies and those who persecute you,” Bush will flash that Texas smirk, that gnostic grin, and say, “I’m all for prayer, don’t get me wrong, but you can’t love a terrorist who has a bomb strapped to his chest.” And Jesus will say, “What was I thinking?”
Whenever Jesus says, “Judge not, lest you be judged,” Bush will say that’s fine for Sunday school, but Lee Atwater had a better gospel, and he taught it to my daddy: Seek and destroy, before they seek and destroy you. This includes actual war heroes and triple amputees.”
When the Lord says be humble, don’t pray in public to be heard by other men, and remember that giving a cup of cold water to a thirsty child is the essence of faith, Bush will shrug those mighty shoulders and remind the Lord that humility can be confused with weakness, public prayer can be particularly effective in the swing states, and private sector water for children is dandy, but “leave no child untested” is the true meaning of love.
That’s when the meeting turned sour, and Jesus got concerned. He reminded Bush that he once stopped an execution in progress, reversing “an eye for an eye.” Then the former Texas governor got a tad impatient himself and started lecturing Jesus on coddling criminals. “What about forgiveness?” said the Lord? “Overrated,” quipped Bush.
That’s when Jesus got up and walked out.
Maybe it’s time we all walk out.
Communist deceiver this witch...
This is worthy of publication? The media's standards continue to fall.
In contrast to the self-righteous Dr. Meyers who probably never, ever, talks about his "relationship" to Jesus Christ.
What a twit.
Pathetic display of biblical ignorance.

A national United Church of Christ leader lauds Supreme Court sodomy decisionThe national offices of the United Church of Christ (UCC) may be one of the few religious voices of praise for today's Supreme Court decision that has challenged the constitutionality of sodomy laws under the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment and the right to privacy provisions of the U.S.Constitution.
Mt 7:17 "Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18 "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
19 "Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 "Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
22 "Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?'
23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'
(NKJV)
GODSPEED!
Dr. Robin Meyers is a male from the results of the various searches I've done. Early on he supported Kucinich and said so from the pulpit. I doubt the IRS will do anything about since he supported a Democrat.
Yeah, Bush has nothing on his schedule and should definately make every event that is important to this guy.
Another breathtakingly dumb human, ALERT
Another magna cum laude PhD...from Norm's Internet University and Car-Finder Service.
Thanks for the research update. This Meyers a loooosssseeeerrrrr.
Blasphemy.
Wow...I'm so surprised this came out of a UCC church...< /sarcasm >
(A UCC church near me holds GLAAD meetings...no lie...my wife used to attend there and she got the bulletin in the mail.)
"Leaders of more than 50 nations gathered last week at the United Nations to discuss world poverty and the rising gap between rich and poor. President Bush was conspicuously absent."
1.The UN(Unified Nutbags) DOES NOT run America or it's President. President Bush can't be every where at once or at the summons of UN dictators who otherwise would mostly notabley be unemployable windbags in any other business sector.
"This “born again” president, who talks constantly about his relationship to Jesus Christ, skipped the meetings about helping poor people,"
2. Bushes one skip compared to Kerrys congressional career of meeting/voting skips is a petty attempt at passive aggressive propaganda grand standing.
"But Bush did address the general assembly and brag about the war."
3. If I were President Bush I would brag about not being APATHETIC regarding OPPRESSED WOMEN AND CHILDREN in the middle east and setting a future of freedom IN MOTION. The UN (Unified Nutbags) are comprised of Antiquated neanderthal self serving my$ognist$ WHO HAVE done nothing BREAK THE CYCLE of oppression, mysogyny, torture and corruption within their own native countries yet they dare come, sit in the comfy state side environs fattening their waist lines(waste of lines and sordid rhetoric) and pocket lining$
Bet he loves John Shelby Spong, Jon Dominic Crossan, and all the other leftist heretics posing as ministers of God as well.

Just a reminder to some - the United Church of Christ is no relation to the Churches of Christ.
Meyers is a perennial nut. If there is a left wing cause, be assured, that Robin Meyers has some kind of stance on it. One of those guys who will protest (in Oklahoma City) the deployment of nuclear something somewhere else, even though it will never have an impact OKC. Self important type of guy, surely the DOD will reconsider now that Robin Meyers is on the case.
Also, I am pretty sure if you asked Meyer if he believed that no man came to the Father except through Jesus, the Jesus of 2000 years ago, and not an idealized new age version of Christ, I am pretty sure he would not be so restrictive, more of a kind of many roads to salvation, in spite of what is written in the Gospels.

A Political Pulpit?
Press release from Oklahomans for Kucinich...
Dr. Robin Meyers, pastor of Mayflower Congregational Church, professor, and Oklahoma Gazette columnist lauded the concepts of a Department of Peace and providing Health Care for everyone in Sunday's sermon.
He stated that he will vote for the candidate who most nearly matches his principles, Dennis Kucinich, and reminded the congregation that "voting your conscience is never a wasted vote."
In his guest column, "Hijacking Jesus" (Sept. 29, 2004), Dr. Robin Meyers, a minister at the Mayflower United Church of Christ of Oklahoma City, states, "Whenever Jesus says, 'Judge not, lest you be judged,' Bush will say that’s fine for Sunday school, but Lee Atwater had a better gospel..." I should add that Dr. Meyers states this rather judgmentally.It isn't difficult to tell from his column that Dr. Meyers gets more of his "theology" from talking points of the Democratic National Committee than from the Bible. I'd like to suggest to Dr. Meyers that the cause of Christ suffers more from hypocrtical ministers than from professing presidents.
