One of the musical directors at the church, Adele Morgan, who has known Ms. Palin since the third grade, said the Palins moved to the nondenominational Wasilla Bible Church in 2002, in part because its ministry is less “extreme” than Pentecostal churches like the Assemblies of God, which practice speaking in tongues and miraculous healings.
“A lot of churches are about music and media and having a big profile,” Ms. Morgan said. “We are against that. That is why it is so attractive to politicians because they can just sit there and be safe.”

“We’ve gotten a lot of their people when the other churches get too extreme,” Ms. Morgan continued. However, she added, “If you lift your hands when we’re singing, we’re not going to shoot you down.”
Left her church because it was too extreme. You have nothing to fear people. This is a common sense woman who does not govern by her personal, individual beliefs.

If she would have just shut up about her twisted belief but no, these fanatics have to include God in everything they do, nothing turns me off more than her radical views on abortion, Creationism and sex ed. It reminds me of some of the most backward, ignorant small towns here in Minnesota.
