I try to steer clear of politics here, but I found this story too revealing not to share. The president-elect of the Christian Coalition has stepped away from his position, because apparently the CC believes that Jesus Christ would rather the conservative group focus on such godly pursuit such as: blowing up abortion clinics/doctors, donating large sums of cash to Republicans, and amending the constitution to make discrimination legal rather than you know, helping the poor. Yeah, that Jesus Christ fellow fucking hated the poor.
The article is italicized for your pleasure:
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The president-elect of the Christian Coalition of America resigned his post Monday.
Rev. Joel C. Hunter cited a difference in philosophy over which issues the conservative Christian organization, in his opinion, should embrace.
Currently the senior pastor of the Northland Church in Longwood, Florida, Hunter was to assume the presidency in January.
But Hunter said CCA leaders resisted his calls to expand their issue base.
"I wanted to expand the issues from only moral ones -- such as opposing abortion and redefining marriage -- to include compassion issues such as poverty, justice, and creation care," Hunter said in a statement. "We need to care as much for the vulnerable outside the womb as inside the womb."
Hunter also said he wanted to focus on rebuilding the CCA's once powerful grassroots network -- an appeal he says board members rejected.
"After initial willingness to consider these changes, the board of the CCA decided, 'that is fine, but that is not who we are,' " Hunter said.
