[On Shara Palin]
You won't be informed from mainstream parrot news sources, but the fact is Pentecostal, Charismatic Christianity is the fastest growing segment of Christianity in the World today! From the explosion of the Chinese underground church to the many documented miracles commonly taking place in African outdoor crusades, the Holy Spirit is Alive and moving in Power! Europeans are left with beautiful tombstones, er, ah cathedrals--void of true, living worshippers and the Spirit of God!

I know we don't go in for the whole "Word Games = Proof" thing that fundies like, but that little typo in the intro makes me wonder what would happen if someone went around a fundie haven calling her Sharia Palin. And referring to "John, Son of Cain".
"the fact is Pentecostal, Charismatic Christianity is the fastest growing segment of Christianity in the World today!"
So...the end of the world is nigh after all...
It's true. Scary, but true. Too bad so many people are so emotionally needy that they'll give up their intellectual integrity. Of course, that assumes they HAD any intellectual integrity to begin with.
Ah, more lessons in lying with statistics. The Catholic Church could add 10 million members and register only a 1 percent increase. Charles' backwoods gibberish-spouting snake-caressing church could add 10 people (two dimwitted adults and their eight children), and accurately but misleadingly claim to have grown by 200 percent.
"...the many documented miracles commonly taking place in African outdoor crusades,.."
The Pentecostals in Africa have also virtually reinstituted the Burning Times. Many children have been cast out of their families because they're suspected of being "witches." Muthee, the Pentecostal pastor who blessed Palin just before she ran for governor, chased a fortune teller named Mamma Jane out of town for supposedly causing several auto accidents through witchcraft. Poor ol' Europe doesn't know what it's missing!

My God's better than your God,
My God's better than yours,
My God's better
'Cause He eats Ken-L-Ration®,
My God's better than yours!
Pentecostal, Charismatic Christianity is the fastest growing segment of Christianity in the World today
Not in America. The fastest growing church in America is the Roman Catholic Church, which picked up about 5 million members between 1996 and 2004. The Mennonites, Mormons, Quakers, Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses picked up another million. The biggest losses were among the mainstream Protestant churches, which lost almost 9 million members. The Baptists and Methodists top the list at -6.6 million and -1.3 million, respectively.
All in all, Christianity lost about 2.9 million people between 1996 and 2004, mostly among Baptists and other Protestants.

*Breathes deep.*
ANTI CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIST!
From the explosion of the Chinese underground church
Oh, the inscrutable heathen Chinee. Doing their underground nukular testing at church now are they?

Don't imagine we're not grateful for it.
From the explosion of the Chinese underground church
There is no underground church in China, you ignorant fuckwit!

My God man! If this is true we're all doomed!

Indeed, I find parrots aren't very good for getting news from. They just keep demanding crackers when I ask them.
the Holy Spirit is Alive and moving in Power!
...which then went splat as it hit the Juggernaut that was the 2008 US Elections: denying Sarah FAILin the Vice Presidency as Joe Biden entered the White House with Barack Obama.
The President entered these beautiful stones filled with history...:

...and void of your 'God'.
Sure, as religions tend to shrink in the world today, a small group of fundies might well be the only growing segment of Christianity.
Yeah, the churches and cathedrals in Europe are often void of worshipers. It's mostly tourists that visit them...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
