Accidentally, they share the same iconography!
Funny, Mathew 25 contains the parable of the three servants.
At the end of it, the person who squandered opportunity had everything he had remaining taken from him and given to the servant that used his master’s wealth to attain more wealth (ie, a capitalist).
The kind who cry “God damn America!”
Here you go:
It’s a bunch of emerging church liberals. Beware!
Email, Print, FAX and FREEP! Don't let these lies go unchallenged.
Obama believes in the culture of death --- Roe v Wade and abortion on demand. Nothing in the Constitution about a right to kill the unborn. Nothing Christian about killing the most innocent in our society. NOTHING!
Emergent church is heresy, and that is all I need to know.
His voting record puts the lie to that statement,
as does his support of the FoCA.
Obama supports partial-birth abortions and so does his wife.
This is a bogus attempt to twist Matthew 25’s story of the sheep and the goats into socialism. The idea is that individuals, poor, middle class or wealthy, are to help those less fortunate. It says nothing about forcing people to give to the government who then decides who gets the money. Pure theological hogwash!
Give me a break! This is worrying: Another features former Reagan official Douglas Kmiec: “Can you be pro-life and vote for Sen. Obama?... The answer is unequivocally yes.”
With a hyperlink, too. :)

Whoever Christiansen is—and I don’t have any clue about that—he is not mainstream Catholic.
As a matter of fact, he is straining credibility to cast himself as “deeply familiar both with the doctrinal and social teachings of the church”.
Obviously, if he is actually and factually deeply familar with the doctrinal and social teachings of Catholicism, he has chosen to repudiate it.
He does not speak for anyone but himself.
I wonder if anyone else noticed anything similar.

He's probably a good example of the kind of "christian" that would support something like Obama.
“Mara Vanderslice, for example, went from a staff job working for Jim Wallis to become the religious point person for Kerry. Kate Michelman, former president ...

“Jim Wallis” the socialist self-professed “evangelical” who writes for “Sojourners”, a leftist religious magazine.

“Here’s what we know about John Kerry’s religious outreach person. Mara Vanderslice was raised without any faith and didn’t become an evangelical Christian until she attended Earlham College, a Quaker school known for its adherence to pacifism.
“When in college, Mara was active in the Earlham Socialist Alliance, a group that supports the convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal and openly embraces Marxism-Leninism.
“After graduating, Mara spoke at rallies held by ACT-UP, the anti-Catholic group that disrupted Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in 1989 by spitting the Eucharist on the floor. In 2000, she practiced civil disobedience when she took to the streets of Seattle in a protest against the World Trade Organization. In 2002, she tried to shut down Washington, D.C. in a protest against the IMF and the World Bank.”
She, Mara, claims to be a self-professed “born again” Christian. When??????????? did that happen??? And, if it did, she appears to have lost her way.
Christian giving and socialism and contradictory concepts.
