The Fools Strike Again

So apparantly now some church has decided that not voting Bush means you should be excommunicated.

That link doesn't have the best description, but it links to multiple full stories and has a followup higher on the page (here).  I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.
Even worse, there's a bill out there to make this crap legal.  Well, here's to hoping all the complaints the IRS gets forces them to rescind tax-exempt status from the church.

The right seems to make itself look worse every day, and yet they're somehow too big to make it matter  :(

Wow. This guy kills me. A Protestant(Baptist) who tries to act like an old school Papist. His congretation ought to kick him in the nuts every election day, just to remind him that their right to vote is a matter of their own conscience. God did not select G. W. Bush to run for President, the Republican party did. Republican Party does not equal God. Or did this fellow just fall off of a tobacco truck?

EDIT: Being sent forth from one little church does not have the same stigma as being thrown out of The Catholic Church or the Episcopalian Church. I'll bet there are lots of other denominations, locally, who will accept those who were "excommunicated" from that little church into their congregation. That dude seems to have delusions of grandeur.

Jimmy Carter, for all his foibles, is proof positive that one can be a good Christian man and a Democrat at the same time.
