I read some shocking news on a prominent evangelical blog that was insinuating that to unite the Christian right many churches were coming together in unity to elect their own Pope! This action is in hopes to make one large evangelical “mother church” that can rule as one. So far the United Methodist, Southern Baptist, and Seventh Day Adventists have come together in agreement.  There’s even word of a pact with Jehovah’s Witnesses and Purpose Driven Churches.

So far they’re calling themselves Churches Reuniting Amongst People. And someone close to sources in the organization has commented about a new Christian Pope ”I think someone like Jerry Falwell in a big hat [and robe], driving around would inspire people.” Even Dobson chimed in on his daily broadcast, “I think this could be what we need to mobilize the right.”

Jerry Falwell the new Pope!?! Now, I’m all for unity, but this sounds crazy or some sort of sign of the end times.

Any thoughts?

Alright religious right… start your opinions!

It appears that if you’re Republican and a Christian you’re being represented by one of the three Stooges.

The Republicans’ first primary contest is next week, and it’s not in New Hampshire. It is in Orlando, at the annual meeting of the National Religious Broadcasters. GOP presidential candidates will be there to try to generate buzz that will translate into evangelical airtime — and support in the “base” in 2008.

Because there is no obvious and overpowering standard-bearer for the cause of the religious right, age-old fault lines and feuds are re-emerging among the titans who control the Sacred Satellite Dishes. Each of them thinks that he can anoint the One.

So how any opinions about having Falwell, Robertson or Dobson being a mouth piece for you to the political world?

For me, that idea is scary. Falwell (blowhard windbag), Robertson (wait, the Lord is giving me a word…. kook!) and Dobson (stick to the psychology buddy) don’t speak for me. When you mix politics and religion it’s a bad cocktail. Both sides are trying to take a piece of each other. Is it a godly pursuit? No. In the end to be a follower of Christ and mixed in with politics,  you end up very Machiavellian (”the end justifies the mean’). And the last time I checked we’re supposed to be in Christ’s image not one of a scheming Italian.

So I abdicate being religious or being right (either conservative or correct). So do I go left? No, any Hilary prospect scares me. Nader? Ha ha NO.

So where am I to go?

Any advice?
