This is an embarrassment. Especially if you're a Methodist...and I am. I've always been proud to share the same denomination as the President. Unfortumately, their statement is not a surprise to me because people in nat'l leadership positions have been trending left for quite awhile now. How can we let them know they don't speak for us??
In my faith we have women Rabbi's now. Creeps me out big time.
I really don't know. I grew up in a houseful of left Dem's. After Sept. 11th and seeing the ilk that has come out of the Dem party and the liberal Jews I know, I don't understand it either.

I think Bush/Cheney are acting in their faith as well, genuinely. I wonder who these two are? Are they supposed to be "heavy hitters" in their church? I think this is just a feeble attempt for them to say that there are "fellow" Methodists who are opposed to Bush.
What diseased souls they are.
Too bad this crap always reflects badly on the UMC. The vast majority would likely lock these maroons out of the church on Sunday.
Check out the official web page, and see if you can find any reference to sin anywhere in there.
And of course, let the flaming of Fred begin...
What's the Bible say about "baring false witness against others"?
This is NOT an official UMC site..Some nitwits wrote the letter and I haved an idea the dems picked it up and ran with it..They didn't even get Bush's church right if I read the site correctly..
So far less than 700 signatures?..My one church is larger..Good Grief.
The sect was founded by John and Charles Wesley in the 1700's in their day they danced shouted and poeple spoke in other tongues in their meetings -- by 1840 they were so backslidden in England that when William Booth the founder of the salvation army (1869) preached in their churches he was expelled for shouting and daring to wave a hankerchief to make a point in a message.
In the 1970's they joined with the world council of churches -- I wrote extensevely about that in two posts early last summer -- The denomination was taken over by radicals at about the same time that the democratic party was taken over.
The sinners are the united methodist church members. They must be smoking crack to have made such an outrageous statement. These fools remind me of the mindless liberal preacher in the movie, "ZULU." I would also presume they are having their delusional kerry moment. Bush/Cheney 2004
Jesus said " He that is without sin , cast the first stone "
Hey ? ministers ? ARE YOU WITHOUT SIN ? GET YOUR OWN HOME IN RIGHT ORDER BEFORE YOU EXPECT BUSH AND CHENEY TO REPENT !!!
These are the people who go around proclaiming to others that they are a christian. My first thought would be why are you telling me? Are they insecure in what they portray? A real christian doesn't have to go around in a religious fervor thumping the good book. One will be identified by their good works and not frantic verbal self- expression. "Deeds Not Words" Bush/Cheney 2004 Let's Roll!!
Six Words in Response: Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Sola Deo Gloria.
I can repeat them again if somehow these 'Methodists' don't get it.
2 words: Free Methodist
Maybe thirty pieces of silver from the kerry kooks have greased some palms. As Abe said, better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. These are just some radicals and does not reflect on all methodists.Bush/Cheney 2004
