Wisconsin's Hungry Looms Large

This is really a hoot - my church, here in Wisconsin, the Lutherans, have become so secular I am forced to leave and find another church. Not just another building but another Christian church like the Baptists.

I am Lutheran but they have crossed the line with me when they decided, that is voted at convention, to join the left wing liberal establishment and condemned Israel for their security wall but never mentioned the Palestinian suicide bombers that have killed thousands innocent people in Israel.

I don't attend that church anymore but I still contribute to some of their charities such as their mission churchs around the state which they do great things in new areas. This means that I am still on their mailing list and consequently receive the weekly bulletin.

Don't get me wrong, the church, as individual units, do good things in the community - I will always believe this as the Christian faith, built on the teaching of Jesus Christ, will be a force for good where ever it is established.

But this week I read in the bulletin, one of the pastors, and they have many, just returned from New Orleans and proclaimed that area to be a mess and in need of much more work - it's great that they want to stay involved, but now thay are indicating that our own state has it's own problems as well and they are no small ones. Hunger is ranpent. What? In a liberal state? That damn Bush!!

Our pastor has stated that in southwestern Wisconsin alone we may have more than 103,000 people that may go to bed hungry. 39,000 could be childern. They don't know for sure but what the heck, bad is bad, right?

Give this some thought, with a population of 5.4 million, as of the last census in 2000, and having that many hungry in just one part of the state, how many are there in the whole state? - 4 times that many? 400,000 that go hungry? More? ( see my past post on Wisconsin population decline)

Whether it's the church or some other liberal organization, it's always best to have a dieaster looming to fire up the troops - telling the truth is a thing of the past even for the church - only fools need to believe in positive outcomes for they are hard to control - the liberal intellectual elite must filter the truth out of the facts to protect us and control the outcome. The modern church is being transformed into a secular arm of this new thinking.

Peter and Paul would not known this new church.
