Sarah Palin has achieved sainthood and photos of her with her prop Trig are described as iconic, according to her spokesperson. In the last thread, Buffalogal posted a link to an excellent site, where they explore the many ramifications of Sarah Palin's chosen faith. The videos below illustrate some of the articles.
I always find all things related to Sarah Palin's religion very disturbing. Pastor Muthee is particularly sinister. He makes reference to Brazil and how important it is to make inroads into a very Catholic country. I have observed Assemblies of God temples proliferating in Brazil. They target the ignorant and the dispossessed.
Poverty and lack of schooling contribute to a vicious cycle of illiteracy in Brazil. Some areas of Brazil have more than half of the population that cannot write their own name.
That's how these churches assemble their armies. They have rich pickings where ignorance and poor education exist.
Education doesn't appear to be a high priority in Alaska or among some of Sarah Palin's followers elsewhere. Muthee and others like him aim at controlling all aspects of society: goverment, financial institutions, the media and so on...
D. James Kennedy, the evangelical pastor who blessed Bush before his run for president, summed up the essence of the teachings behind the Assemblies of God, its missions and its associates in this quote:
"Our job is to reclaim America for Christ, whatever the cost. As the vice regents of God, we are to exercise godly dominion and influence over our neighborhoods, our schools, our government, our literature and arts, our sports arenas, our entertainment media, our news media, our scientific endeavors -- in short, over every aspect and institution of human society."
The annointing of Sarah Palin should send shivers down our spines. She keeps a fairly low profile regarding her church attendance and allegiances because openly embracing the Pentecostal principles and targets would constitute political suicide. But she's still working at them and she would become bolder if she ever achieved higher office.
If Sarah Palin had been a squeaky clean politician, without any "gates", the religion aspect alone would be more than enough to set the alarm bells ringing...
