Clinton praises evangelical Christians

[DeclinetoState]

NEW YORK - Former President Bill Clinton praised evangelical Christians on Thursday for their recent efforts on global warming and debt relief for poor nations and said he sees growing understanding between people of different faiths.

Clinton made the remarks while accepting an award from the Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding. He said that as president he had "a consuming interest in the intersection of religion and politics."

...

Clinton also noted the publication earlier this year of "Climate Change: An Evangelical Call to Action," which was signed by many leading conservative Christians and which frames environmental protection as a Christian imperative.

Pandering.

Idiotic response at the Yahoo! Message Boards (http://news.messages.yahoo.com/bbs?action=m&board=37138445&tid=apclintonevangelicals&sid=37138445&mid=774):

...attacks in the American homeland.

Yet, Bush supporters boast that there have been no Islamic terrorist attacks in the American homeland for almost 4 years.

Their boasting seems kind of flimsy and meaningless, don't you think?

Lots of responses already to this piece of crap.

Liberal Selective Memory.

Who was in office when the World Trade Center was hit the first time with no response?

That's why we were hit the second time.

It must be another example of liberRATs "injecting" spirituality into their <s>scams</s> agenda.

A conference geared to help Democrats infuse God into their politics begins tomorrow at All Souls Unitarian Church in the District with the unveiling of a "spiritual covenant with America."

The "Spiritual Activism Conference" aims to equip liberals to operate in a political arena where religion has played a more prominent role since 2000, says Rabbi Michael Lerner, founder of the Jewish magazine Tikkun and a chief conference organizer.

"While we support the liberal agenda, we are going to a much deeper level with this spiritual critique," he said. "We want to bring in a nonutilitarian framework that sees other human beings as embodiments of the sacred."Democrats plan to inject spirituality into agenda (http://washingtontimes.com/national/20060515-110136-1693r.htm)

If they have to "inject" it, they're hypocrites.

I wouldn't want to be the so called Evangelicals that this arm of Anti Christ is praising.

Bill Clinton is infused with evil, and so is his wife.

All Souls Unitarian Church is not a mainstream Christian church. Some would say it is a cult. Unitarians are a weird bunch. Traditionally, they have rejected the Trinity doctrine, though I don't think anyone who believed it would be prevented from joining the church. In fact, I think you can believe whatever you want and still be a Unitarian.

[DoctorDoom]

Unitarianism isn't Christian. It's religion's equivalent to McDonald's. "I'll have this doctrine from column A, that doctrine from column B, hold the Trinity, and supersize the coffee ministry."
