[This may be the first time I've heard John McCain get called the Anti-Christ]
He's not saved, he is the devil's child, so, how can you be sure that he's not just saying he's against it to get the conservitive Christian votes?
McCain is Episcopalian - They condone same sex unions, they ordain openly gay bishops and clergy. And, they are one of the Catholic Churches offspring. What does the Bible say about the Catholic church calling her babies home during the end times?

It's so funny when fundies start to put their inconsistent logics together and realize, even partly, that their whole system is fucked.
McCain converted to Baptist quite awhile ago (why, I don't know, since Episcopalians are awesome).
Churchlady is behind the times.
Before vernacular masses came into vogue, Episcopalians were said to be Roman Catholics who were deficient in Latin. And I think ChurchLady is confusing some obscure Bible passage with the song "Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey?"
Actually, the Roman Catholic church started to separate from the Eastern Orthodox church sometime in the 5th to 6th century. And all Protestants, whether they admit it or not, are descended from the Roman Catholic church. Tradition Episcopalians just have more in common with them than other Protestant churches do. However, the Episcopal church encompases a large range of theological beliefs, and most would consider themselves Evangelical rather than Traditional. There is even a large liberal constituancy within the Episcopal church. And no, the Bible says absolutely nothing about the Roman Catholic church, regardless of what idiotic Dispensationalists believe.

Are you starting to catch on to the republic partys scam? 30 years late, but finally?
Yes ChurchLady is right. McCain must be the Anti-Christ.
(hey, if it gets her not to vote for him I'm not going to dispute it:)
Newsflash ChurchLady, YOUR sect, like all Protestant sects, is an offshoot of Catholicism.
Although it's most refreshing to see somebody that thinks McCain is an the antichrist after so many that think Obama is the antichrist.

Well, shame on them! The new Testament clearly commands all believers to join the NRA and vote Republican.
And, they are one of the Catholic Churches offspring.
Quickie history lesson: The Catholic Church is the "parent" of every single Christian denomination, including yours. Before Martin Luther (a raging anti-Semite) nailed his 99 Theses to the cathedral door, the Catholic Church was the end-all, be-all for Christianity.
A**hole.
Idiot. All Western Christianity is an offspring of Catholicism. There was nothing but Roman Catholicism until the arrival on the scene of Martin Luther. So whatever sect you follow, whatever barn it calls a church, whatever dogmas it uses to hate the rest of the world, originally came from Catholicism, and were transmogrified into your hateful creed by an American Ayatollah. You are damned like the rest of us to uncertainty and death for all your protesting about believing.
And, they are one of the Catholic Churches offspring.
Contrary to the myths some of you perpetuate, all Christian sects are the offspring of Catholicism.
Please please PLEASE go to Rapture Ready and say that.
True, the resulting implosion might actually bring about the end of the world they've been looking forward to, but it would be worth it to watch.
A friend of mine, a raging fundie, has told me over and over that he believes that the Whore of Babylon in Revelations is representative of the Catholic Church. Maybe ChurchLady is just forgetting that her interpretation of what her little book says might not be the right one.
Catholicism IS a christian sect, merely the largest one. Before the Roman emperors threw their weight behind some of the bishops, there was no way to distinguish orthodoxy from heresy - different sects murdered each other and started mob riots of course, but not with the State's involvement. Many early heresies persisted for centuries, and some doctrines held by Popes as late as the 6th-7th Century are now considered heretical.
>What does the Bible say about the Catholic church calling her babies home during the end times?
Jack shit, if I remember Revelation correctly. Even if you interpret one of the beasts or the Whore of Babylon to be the Church, there's no "babies".
Read your own damned book.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
