Whether you live in the US or not, the Christian Coalition affects your life. Mainly theyre a bunch of luddites that enjoy hating others, but there are some sane members. Unfortunately, its the wackos that have the ear of our POTUS.

The president-elect stepped down yesterday, because he wanted to focus on things such as povery, and being a good guardian of the planet, i.e. dealing responsibly with the threat of global warming. He wanted to, you know, follow the basic tenets set forth in the Gospels, instead of focusing on stuff thats not really as important, such as [blink] gays and abortion [/blink]. What a lunatic!

QuoteThe president-elect of the Christian Coalition of America, which has long served as a model for activism for the religious right, has stepped down, saying the group resisted his efforts to broaden its agenda to include reducing poverty and fighting global warming.

The Rev. Joel C. Hunter, pastor of a Florida megachurch, was named the groupââ,¬â,,¢s president-elect in July. He was to have taken over the presidency in January from Roberta Combs, who is also the chairwoman of the Christian Coalitionââ,¬â,,¢s board. Mrs. Combs will continue in both positions now.

Over the last few years, Dr. Hunter, senior pastor of Northland Church in Longwood, Fla., has gained a reputation as an evangelical leader seeking to expand the agenda of conservative Christian activists from issues like abortion and same-sex marriage.
