You mean mixing up religion with politics, like banning the wearing of the Muslim burka but not the Christian habit? That just happened in France. You mean mixing up religion with politics, like putting Geert Wilders on trial for the crime of saying things about Islam that upset Muslims? That just happened in the Netherlands. How about state churches? The United States doesn’t have one, but more than a handful of European nations do. When it comes to using politics to make religious edicts, Europe has a worse record than the United States, not a better one.

The average European is always shocked to see how medieval America and the average American still are. How can a modern community take itself serious when they keep on mixing up religion with politics? The USA have become the joke of the modern world, but they don’t even know it.

Why didn’t Jesus tell Pastor Muthee (regarding Ms Palin)
1) To place her baby & young children before her career & husband which is the biblically correct thing to do
2.)to not lie, slander & manipulate and divide this country
3)that she was going to cause McCain to lose the election by the biggest landslide since Ronald Reagan

I have to ask all these “religious” people who are under the bizarre notion that Muthee is a good man of God despite his inciting townspeople to torture or even kill: Would Jesus approve of his methods — WWJD? Even when the Bible talks about Jesus casting out demons, does he do that by physically hurting ANYONE? Please do point to a Bible story where he does this, as maybe I might have missed it.

I’ve also been thinking that maybe this is why the mainstream media has not more prominently publicized Muthee’s ties to Palin. I don’t know, maybe they figured that it would bring more of the fanatics out of the woodwork and make this sort of thinking more legitimate and accepted.

I can’t even finish reading your posting! Do you know this man? I do. He is an incredible man of God. I don’t know Sarah Pallin. We’ll find out who she is, etc. eventually. However, it’s dangerous to speak evil of a Man of God.

Thomas Muthee is connected with another interesting church in Sacramento called Radiant Life Church. He is visiting the church this week. Go ahead, do a search on the church and see what you learn.

This just in…

According to a webpage which has been removed from the original site it appeared at but which is cached at Internet Archive, Muthee claims to have cured 23 people of AIDS…

The claim that Thomas Muthee cured 23 people of AIDS made me laugh when I first read about it but that laughter ended as I came to the grim realization that the false hope he gave those 23 people may have led to exponentially more infections.

Considering that Sarah Palin believes that Thomas Muthee’s incantations convinced a god to “make a way” for her to be Governor, I have no reason to doubt that she also believes that Muthee can pray the AIDS away.

Baby killers? (are you a horror film buff by any chance?) And what the heck is a rumb wrangler? Is “craziness” the term you use to describe anything that you are obviously ignorant of(uneducated about) and do not understand?

Here's the basic problem you're seeing with the conservatives commenting on this post: they don't see witch-hunting as irrational, pre-Enlightenment behavior. They believe real, unholy-powered witches with the ability to affect reality exist and that it is righteous to drive them out of town. Check out this 2005 article from World Net Daily, a right wing news publication with a large conservative readership, in which the author praises Muthee's work in getting rid of a witch who was killing people. To Jim Rutz, if you can turn a town Christian and improve its economy without any foreign aid and just by threatening a woman into leaving, you're doing the Lord's work. Muthee's witch hunting is so famous in certain religious circles that the Christian Science Monitor wrote about it back in 1999, when Palin was still Wasilla mayor. These are not C.S. Lewis/ G.K. Chesterton Christians who reach Christianity through reason, nor are they principled conservatives whose conservatism is based in concerns about expansive government. The folks who get angry when Palin's ties to radicals are revealed are people who are conservative because they believe ambiguously dark forces are out there that can hurt them, and that one must do whatever is necessary to combat those forces. Which is all a long-winded way of saying that WF Buckley is rolling over in his grave that Palin is the GOP VP candidate.
