Blaspheming Hillary plays up to Harlem Baptists Grant Swank October 27, 2007 It is amazing and horrifying to see in-your-face blasphemy, particularly on Baptist turf. But that's exactly what is taking place when archliberal, pro-killing womb babies and pro-homosexual practice Hillary shouts Hallelujah at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem. How can these parishioners sing "What A Friend We Have In Jesus" while at the same time shaking hands and clapping applause for the devil's agenda? That's what goes on when Hillary steps inside a Christian sanctuary — it's called anathema. It's known in biblical terms as "hypocrisy." It is acting the part of the scribes and Pharisees of the first century, the latter being no friend to Jesus. How can the clergy of that congregation invite the likes of a backslidden Hillary into the holy confines? Yet every election time these liberals make full use of freedom of religious expression in America. However, when elected they side with the secularists on "separation of church and state." Both heretofore born again, per their testimonies of yesteryear, Bill and Hillary walked into the Harlem church, greeted loudly particularly by the smiling choir. Any one for sanity at this point, let alone just plain-old-fashioned moral integrity? Per Kathleen Lucadamo, Heather Appel and Adam Nichols of The Daily News, "It might have been gray outside, but for the Hillary Clinton supporters packed into Harlem's Abyssinian Baptist Church Saturday, the future looked very bright. "'When Hillary gets elected President, the sun will come out,' Assemblyman Keith Wright (D-Harlem) told hundreds of the Democratic hopeful's supporters." Sun shining for the female who champions females with unborn children having the first-rate chance to slay those defenseless ones? I don't think so. God does not shine His sanctified smile upon the likes of Hillary, not unless she repents of her sins to recognize Christ as Lord of her moral structure. In the meantime, she as Barack Obama and Rudy Giuliani write their own religion, baptizing that as legitimate before the Judgment Seat of Christ. How souls can take such eternal risks is totally beside my thought processes. Yet of course they think they can get by with immorality while not being held accountable at The Close. Not so. "The event, hosted by Bill Clinton and Rep. Charles Rangel (D-Harlem), was billed as a homecoming for the New York senator, who lives in Westchester County. "The venue, a Harlem institution long considered a can't-miss stop for politicians hoping to win black support, was full of her fans. "'We support her and we support her ideas,' said Leroy Gadsden, one of a busload of supporters from Queens' Guy R. Brewer Democratic Club. And Council Speaker Christine Quinn said, 'We in the City Council need a President who cares about urban America. "'My only regret is that we can't elect her tomorrow. Things are that bad.'" Those testimonies on the dark side do no good for the Republic. If Hillary is in the Oval Office, secularism will reign and the Judeo-Christian heritage will be scratched. She joins the Hollywood crew who laughed and applauded Kathy Griffin's shout: "Suck it, Jesus, this (trophy) award is my God." May the good Lord help America if the nation slides into the likes of Hillary's claws. Now get this and say you've been warned: ""Victory belongs to her,' said the church's pastor, the Rev. Calvin Butts."
