I’m the preacher Ken referred to.

The Sunday before the election, I preached on voting your conscience, but make sure you vote.

Last Sunday, I preached on, Obama ain’t the enemy. Engage worldviews in a respectful, godly manner. It’s what Christ would do.

This Sunday, I’m preaching on it’s been 19 days since the election and hell still has not vomited up the damned and the dead do not walk the Earth. We have a bigger problem. Our Sunday School program sucks.

My writing partner is a burned-out pastor in rural PA. Some of his congregation wouldn’t be out of place on Jerry Springer. He’s been doing damage control since before the election against a tide of End Time Prophecy fanboys and Angry Armies. So far, he’s been giving his “DON’T GO STUPID ON ME!” sermon three weeks in a row with no end in sight.

Charisma has shut down the ‘General topics’ section and no-one can start a thread there anymore.

I think that the GOP will survive and they will sever both the religious right zealot types and also the independent / unaffiliated voters from their party.

I like your post and agree with a lot of it. What I am wondering about these days is whether or not the GOP will survive. I wonder if we’re witnessing a shift that is similar to what happened when the Republicans broke away from the Whigs prior to the Civil War.

I think there are many people who consider themselves to be moderates and independents who feel stuck in the middle between two extremes. (I know I do.) I’m wondering if the time has finally come for independents to finally break away from the Republican and Democratic parties.

Perhaps not, but “it makes me wonder.”

Nice to hear from you again. Ever since Lakeland was over, Charisma shut down their forums because the majority of Christians disagreed with them, and other outside circumstances, I had hot seen you online.
