John McCain’s spiritual advisor?!

It’s people like this man who give American Evangelicals the worst name possible. I was shocked, SHOCKED that this person can say things like this out loud and not be publicly ridiculed, much less be taken up on stage by the Republican candidate and lauded before the nation.

I don’t usually come out and talk about politics in such a public arena, but this just makes me sick to my stomach. This man, Rod Parsley, comes out and says horrible, hateful things like “Mohammed recieved messages from demon spirits, not from the Living God” – he’s not saying that Islam is not based on actual events, no, it’s much more insidious than that. He’s saying that Islam IS based on actual events, and that those involved were EVIL. That’s much more scary than merely saying that those who follow Islam are mistaken. He’s saying that they’re being led by evil, each and every one.

How can people be so hateful?

Edited to add: OK, so Kerry has rejected Rod’s endorsement, probably because of this video coming out. Oooh, the spin!
