All Of A Sudden, The Left “Loves” Christianity
Posted on July 3, 2009
Get a load of this claptrap
Randy Brinson, a conservative political consultant in Alabama, has been fielding anxious calls for weeks from business interests across the South.
Their concern is a massive ad blitz on Christian and country-music stations across 10 states. The ads, funded by a left-leaning coalition, urge support for congressional legislation to curb greenhouse-gas emissions — by framing the issue as an urgent matter of Biblical morality.
“As our seas rise, crops wither and rivers run dry, God’s creation cries out for relief,” begins one ad, narrated by an evangelical megachurch pastor. Another opens with a reference to the Gospel of John, slams energy interests for fighting the bill, and concludes: “Please join the faithful in speaking out against the powerful.” (snip)
Emboldened by what they see as a kindred spirit in the White House, progressive and liberal Christians are stepping up their political activism in a big way.
A religious coalition called the American Values Network spent nearly $200,000 placing the global warming ads. Some political analysts credit the campaign with boosting support for the Waxman-Markey climate bill, which narrowly passed the House last week.
During the past 8 years, the Left’s assault on Christianity grew to record levels, particularly because George W. Bush was a Born Again Christian. Now that they have their own Born Again Christian in the White House, they are all for using Christianity to achieve their goals. And, as the article points out, there are even more ad campaigns coming. Of course, the hard left will just use their Leftist Christians (not sure how you can be a Christian when you believe in the primacy of abortion on demand) as yet another group to abuse and then ignore.
Interestingly, I wonder how much good $200k could do if it was put into humanitarian relief efforts here in the USA, rather than an ad campaign over a fake issue?

Maybe the left is using Christianity because the right doesn’t know what Christianity is. You are Christians in name only. You are the antichrist. Christ is nowhere in your Christianity. Instead of picking through the Bible to pull out individual sentences to back your causes, read what Christ said. You don’t need the Old Testament that’s for Jews. Adam and Eve doesn’t make sense unless you think we’re all descended from Jews, I do not. Christianity is supposed to be based on the teachings of Christ, not the thoughts and dreams of his disciples. Christ was the deity not his disciples, therefore we don’t need any of the Bible after the first four books of the New Testament. Christianity is about Christ, the rest is moot. Don’t get confused by religion. Spirituality is what Christ gives to you, religion is what you force on other people. If the right would focus a little more on education you would know this.
I’ve linked to your post from Julian the Apostate – Watch
Joe, before you create your own bible, you should know that Christ quoted the old testament – If you do not study the first four books of the old Testament you may not understand why we need a savior in the first place.
If you take away Genesis you take away the knowledge that God has always been the same, without studying it you may have trouble understanding the concept of the Trinity. Or even understanding why we all need to face death.
If you take away Exodus you take away the 10 commandments.
If you take away Numbers you take away knowledge that our blessings (not salvation) come from acting on faith in facing the Giants.
I am not going to suggest that “You are a Christian in name only.” If you place your faith in Christ … But your suggested teaching is less than to be desired.
