Navin dont you think there is a differnce between being someones pastor and getting an endorsment from someone. Hagee is disgusting slime like most pastors but Mcain doesnt go to his church and listen to his sermons and then say he never heard the sermons and then a week later say oh yeah I heard the sermons but i disaree with them. I love to hear obama talk he has feel good story written all over him but deep down he is a crook co machine hack willing to say anyting to get elected.

Our pastor's so house-proud Nothing ever slows him down And a mess is not allowed His house In the middle of his street His house Is his castle and his keep

What is that line from the Christian scriptures? "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than ..." Using religion as a cash cow, turning the reverence others feel for the King of Creation as a source of easy money for one and one's friends? No, nothing blasphemous about that at all.

My father is a retired UCC minister, and I know many others through him. I have never heard of any of them getting a house, let alone one of that value, as a retirement settlement.

Ha ha, So he's just like every other Christian big wig pastor but small time compared to a lot of the other high (holy) rollers. McCain's boy (Katrina was God's way of punishing fags) John Hagee banks a million a year from his 'non-profit' church in addition to the mansions and such. Jesus pays!

God damn america seems to be working out pretty well for him and obama both live in mansions that one got for free the other got with help from a indicted soon to be convicted political donor.

This should be the story, not his "spot on" comments about American imperialism, but the fact that too many Negroes are worshiping in ATMs with a gold cross on top instead of churches. How can you talk about liberation theology while driving around in a porshe and living in a mansion, like a C.E.O?
