Why Religious Endorsements Hurt The Political Process

Presidential candidate John McCain wins the endorsement of a Texas mega-church televangelist and preacher who thinks, among other things, that the Catholic Church is a cult - - "the great whore."

That's just for starters. Details here.

Looking for evangelical and religious conservatives' support, McCain won't really distance himself from the preacher, John Hagee.

Leadership!

More from Hagee. . .


On why the Jews have had such a rough time of it for the last couple thousand years ...

"It was the disobedience and rebellion of the Jews, God's chosen people, to their covenantal responsibility to serve only the one true God, Jehovah, that gave rise to the opposition and persecution that they experienced beginning in Canaan and continuing to this very day....
How utterly repulsive, insulting, and heartbreaking to God for His chosen people to credit idols with bringing blessings He had showered upon the chosen people. Their own rebellion had birthed the seed of anti-Semitism that would arise and bring destruction to them for centuries to come.... it rises from the judgment of God uppon his rebellious chosen people."
