The sermon started out great today. The pastor was talking about how all living things, and even non-living things such as mountains, sing praises to the Lord just by being what they are meant to be.
Then he turned an excellent sermon into a political rant.
He started to say that humans are responsible for global warming, when this is still a controversial topic.
He mentioned Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth and even conceded that global warming has occurred in periods before fossil fuels, as Gore states in his book.
He said that Gore was mainly concerned with our own civilization - not the Earth - which will regenerate on its own - which makes it rather clear that Gore just wants to sell books and expand control and regulation, which is the wet dream of all liberals.
The pastor even mentioned Earth Day.
I thought that was the final straw, until he gave the benediction and said these words:
"Think globally, and live liberally".
Jesus was a hardcore liberal, and it sounds like the pastor is just speaking the lord's word.
If you want a hard right wing religion, try islam.

I don't believe religion should be affiliated with politics, although I'm agnostic I don't believe Jesus would be Liberal nor Conservative but a individualist.
I'm only sticking around because I am relatively young, and might be able to change the way the church operates.
You're in Los Angelas county... You aren't going to change the congregation and until you do, you won't change the church. In order to change the congregation, you have to change the community in which the church serves. Look around your neighborhood and tell me what the odds are that you are going to be able to affect that change.
