ORLANDO, Fla. - The president-elect of the Christian Coalition of America has declined the job, saying the organization wouldn't let him expand its agenda beyond opposing abortion and gay marriage.
The Rev. Joel Hunter, who was scheduled to take over the socially conservative group in January from Roberta Combs, said he had hoped to focus on issues such as poverty and the environment.
"These are issues that Jesus would want us to care about," said Hunter, a senior pastor at Northland Church in Longwood, Fla.
Funny how the far right are always whining about the "Homosexual Agenda" without taking a look at thier own. And I think this makes it abundantly clear. yeah, I'm sure Jesus, when he returns, is gonna be REAL glad these people persecuted and discriminated against thier fellow (gay) men and lesbians, and glad these same peopel harrassed and screamed at a poor woman trying to make one of the toughest decisions a woman should have to make, while at the same time ignoring, and in fact using as political boogie-men, the poor people of the country. And the diseased. And those trying to save the enviornment.
i wonder if they realized Christ walked among the poor and the lepers and prostitutes and such. And never, anywhere in the Bible, did Christ mention a word about homosexuality or abortion.
And do they remember the lines "Judge not, lest ye be judged", "Let ye who with is without sin, cast the first stone", and "A rich man will get into heaven like a camel through the eye of a needle" (I'm paraphrasing all these of course).
