The Hypocrisy of the LeftJust another telling example reinforcing the fact that the Episcopal church in this country has gone from being a house of worship to a social movement. Gay rights, global warming, the world's oppressed, come on down!

I have been looking for God my whole life. I first recognized Him in the black foster parents I worked with who manifested Christ-consciousness.
I then found him four years ago, when my parents died three weeks apart and I was carried by a force stronger than myself. And more recently, as I've gone from left to right, I have discovered him in the many conservatives guiding me, such as AT readers.
Given my spiritual longing, I decided it was time to explore places of worship. Being a secular Jew, my first step should have been a temple. However, the synagogues around here are practically recruitment stations for Obama (aside from the Orthodox ones, but I don't speak a word of Hebrew). So I decided to experience church on Christmas Eve.
Checking out churches online, I found almost none that offered political neutrality. Most heralded their progressive credentials, welcoming the transgendered, but not conservatives.
I was pleased to find an Episcopal church whose website focused on religion, not ObamaCare. I left a message for the priest that I was looking for a church that didn't press a political agenda because I wasn't a liberal.
I received an icy reply from the priest, the Reverend Lucy, who said with barely-contained disgust, "I don't think you should check us out."
Her response left me shaken and angry. I understand that leftists despise conservatives. I have seen that creepy look of pure hatred when I naïvely told a leftist friend about my political conversion.
But an Episcopal priest rejecting me during the holiest time of year? Isn't anything or anyone sacred? [link]
Looking for spiritual guidance or healing? Find somewhere else, toots. There's no room in the inn.
For the love of God.

There used to be three true "professions". The Law, the Clergy and Physicians. Now, these professions are frequently occupied by mountebanks and it seems, everybody and his brother claims to be a professional. When even the churches aren't reliable, we are in big trouble.
"I left a message for the priest that was looking for a church that didn't press a political agenda because I wasn't a liberal."
Who knows what was in this teabagger's email to the priest...
