Exclusive: Ralph Reed Launches New Values Group: 'Not Your Daddy's Christian Coalition'

Your article amplifies why your publications are losing membership. You have no veracity!
Your blindness to the truth and hyprocritical concern for the under class is only the failed philosophy of socialism that ultimately demeans the poor.
If only you would open your eyes and see what is! A famous man you likely never read said that truty is irrefutable, ignorance may deride and malice may attack it----but in the end, there it is.
Sincerely,

Ralph,
Tonight, I see on the Rachel Maddow Show, that you want me to send you $25, to fax Congressional members to vote no for Health Care.
As a religious person, how can you be against the Health Care Bill, which will save lives. No question mark here, merely retorical. You cannot rationally answer such a question anyway.

What planet is Reed living on to call Sarah Palin an asset to McCain. The woman was a laughingstock who sunk McCain faster than the Titanic. As for Reed, he is an ethically challenged free-form hater of the worst ilk. He gives a bad name to my own Christianity. What a waste of newsprint.

If an act or policy is otherwise morally justifiable, the fact that its consequences favor or disfavor some group of people singled out by some morally arbitrary or neutral classification scheme is not alone a consideration that tends to render the act morally unjustifiable. ,

If you or someone you love has been a victim of sexual violence, you are not alone. ,

Otherwise, Jack Abramoff's cabana boy would be smitten with thunderbolts (or at the very least a bad case of hemorrhoids) every time he gets up on his hind legs and starts preaching to us pagans. A personal God as envisioned by evangelicals wouldn't stand for that sort of blasphemous insolence for a minute.
And anyway, I thought Ralph was off "humping those corporate accounts" as he so eloquently described his private enterprise endeavors. I guess those plans didn't work out and he's had to fall back on the God business. Times are tough.

I strongly disagree with the notion that Christians are free to do whatever they please and that they are already "covered by the blood" of Christ. There is no forgiveness of sins without a change of heart and a change of action. Those who go contrary to the ways of God must repent; there is no such thing as a Christian who does evil and expects he is justified in it. If such people exist (and they do), they are not Christian.
As for the Christian Coalition, it seems to be a political body. I am not inclined to support it unless it is truly governed by the principles of the Bible. It seems, however, that it is against abortion. This is one thing in the Christian Coalition's favor. Opposing the murder of America's next generation is certainly praiseworthy.
The arguments for abortion are not even lucid. One argument for abortion is that churches want the babies to live in order that the babies might possibly grow up to pay tithing. Hm. Let's see how valid that argument is. Think about it for a minute. Unborn babies are a potential source of income IF they choose to be Christian and IF they are diligent enough to pay a 10% tithing their entire lives? This argument isn't even worth considering. Christians are for preserving the lives of unborn babies, period. They are not greedily planning that someday the children might become diligent, tithe-paying Christians, which, I might say, is something of a rarity.
As far as churches being tax free, I am sure there are abuses. But I do not find this fact a legitimate excuse to try to tax people for their belief in God.

"Hate Bill" Favoritism
If "hate bill"-obsessed Congress can't protect Christians from "gays" as much as it wants to protect "gays" from Christians, will Congress be surprised if it can't protect itself from most everyone? If "hate bills" are forced on captive Americans, they'll still find ways to sneakily continue to "plant" Biblical messages everywhere. By doing so they'll hasten God's judgment on their oppressors as revealed in Proverbs 19:1. (See related web items including "David Letterman's Hate, Etc.," "Separation of Raunch and State," "Michael the Narc-Angel," and "Obama Avoids Bible Verses.") Since Congress can't seem to legislate "morality," it's making up for it by legislating "immorality"!

Founders mandated there shall be no public test for public office. One reason for this is that public servants decide what happens to tax revenue. Congress became packed with Christian extremists who continue religious tax exemptions, vouchers. etc. They yell "under God" when they say the pledge. They unpatriotically cast aside founding principles. Recently, many Christian public servants are exposed to be corrupt. They learned and acted on the Bible lesson that says there should be a "Fall Guy," or a "Whipping Boy" always standing by to take punishment for Christian wrongdoing. When public servants make their vow of office, and put a hand on the Bible, it means they expect to be FORGIVEN for their crimes and corruption. The Bible and other holy books teach nasty, guilt-escaping, amoral values
