NC-Preacher Throws Democrats Out of His Church May 6, 2005, 01:29 PM
Email to a Friend Printer Friendly Version
The minister of a Haywood County, North Carolina Baptist church is telling members of his congregation that if they're Democrats, they either need to find another place of worship or support President Bush.
Already, the Reverend Chan Chandler has ex-communicated nine members of East Waynesville Baptist Church. Another 40 members have left in protest. During last Sunday's sermon, he acknowledged that church members were upset because he named people, and he says he'll do it again because he has to according to the word of God.
Chandler could not be reached for comment Friday, but says his actions weren't politically motivated. One former church member says Chandler told some of the members that if they didn't support George Bush, they needed to resign their positions and get out of the church, or go to the altar, repent and agree to vote for Bush.
A former church treasurer says she's at church to worship God and not the preacher.

I understand that but I hope Europeans realize parts of America are different than other parts. America and Europe are the same size and The difference between England and Poland is the same as the difference between California and New York and the difference between Denmark and Spain is like the difference between Minnesota and Texas ok so don't be thinkin everyone in America is like the congregation at the westboro baptist church and we won't be thinking everyone in Europe enjoys watching bulls get stuck with spears to be bled to death.

This is why we need a true separation of church and state.

Blame the religious community in th U.S. if anything, not the country.

Europe doesn't really have the looney Right like America does. Instead, they have the looney Left(socialist, America-hating dipshits).

Please don't judge us all by the actions of a few right-wing loons. But I'm sure you're smart enough to know that already, but I thought I might interject that anyway...

I don't, but to tell the truth I don't understand any of you. By the way I grew up Baptist, my father was decon in the church. I rejected christianity and then later came back as a jesusfreak in the 70s left again for the same reasons, and now I don't use religion per say but consider myself very spiritual. I've studied many religions and philosophys and I use what works for me without beliving my way is the correct one. I leave other peoples beliefs alone unless they get in my face. Then all bets are off. Although I'm slowly learning that what other people think is none of my business. As you can see from my posts I have a long way to go.
