National Association of Evangelicals under attack from the 'christian' Right

[ck4829]

More than two dozen evangelical leaders are seeking the ouster of the Rev. Richard Cizik from the National Association of Evangelicals because of his "relentless campaign" against global warming.

In a March 1 letter to L. Roy Taylor, chairman of the NAE Board, Focus on the Family Chairman James Dobson and others said the NAE vice president's activism on global warming is "a threat to the unity and integrity" of the organization.

"The issue that is dividing and demoralizing the NAE and its leaders is related to global warming," wrote the leaders, none of whom are members of the association. "If he cannot be trusted to articulate the views of American evangelicals on environmental issues, then we respectfully suggest that he be encouraged to resign his position with the NAE."

Taylor could not be reached immediately for comment. Cizik said, "I have no intention of resigning." The NAE's interim president, Leith Anderson, said Friday he expects the board to stand by Cizik, who directs the NAE's Washington office.

1. So Christian evangelicals WANT global warming....

The whole damned lot of evangelical Christian leaders and their followers are fucked up morons without a clue. One of them speaks out about global warming and because he isn't lock step with the rest of them, he's censured. This, of course, doesn't surprise me.

I really do look down my nose at evangelicals as stupid, ignorant simpletons and this sort of report just makes my prejudice against them even stronger. Somehow, we have to wrestle the stranglehold these nitwits have on our government and culture.

2. In "American Fascists: The Christian Right and The War On America,

Chris Hedges examines how the rightwing, extreme fundamentalist and evangelist christian sects are teaming up to control more mainstream brethren. They plan to be in control of their congregations and eventually turn their war intentions toward more mainstream christian religions such as Methodists, Episcopalians, Catholics, etc. although I can't really see these plans succeeding or even feasible.

3. So this is like the Southern Baptists demanding the Methodists change leaders . . .

Isn't it? They aren't even IN NAE.

Dobson is pond scum.
