Richard Land, head of the political action arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, told members of the Christian Coalition in Florida that the healthcare reform proposed by the Obama administration is "pro-euthaniasia" and is "precisely what the Nazis did."
Land's speech in Florida is filled with such outrageous lies and distortions that it sounds like a rant from someone who is either mentally unbalanced or else is attempting to foment the violent overthrow of our government. That he should be the chief ethical spokesperson for the largest protestant denomination in our nation is unfathomable.
Meanwhile, millions of perfectly sane Southern Baptists who are embarrassed by Land's lies continue to give tithes and offerings to churches that forward a percentage of their money to support Land's work.
That doesn't make sense to me either.

Outrageous comments like that make me very nervous. I don't think those guys are playing with fire, or maybe they do. One reason I haven't been a member of a Southern Baptist for 23 years now.
Bruce, I received a blogging award and passed it on to you.
