I always assumed Sarah Palin was the anti Christ lol

I am tempted to get this t-shirt and wear it around town here in the Bible Belt...it is hilarious

That's cool...my church is mostly non-Lutheran converts as well, but I hear that we are in a minority in that regard...most on here wouldn't consider us Lutheran anyway! lol I love the traditional liturgy, hearing grace preached instead of fear, and especially taking communion every week, I am...

It is a little frightening to me that there are so many "heritage Lutherans" answering and so few newcomers to the denomination. Doesn't bode well for Lutheranism in the long-run. I am so happy I came to it, I just wish more "outsider" people could see it and they would love it as much as I do.

big church in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley has decided to leave the ELCA and go with the LCMC Lutheran church in Roanoke County votes to split from association - Roanoke.com I can see many of the churches in VA doing this, including my own. I think we are what DaRev refers to as ELCA light...

Except on the gay thing. And that's a big thing.

I don't know much about the racism claim, really, but I do remember telling people when Obama won, that unless he did twice as good a job as a white guy, he would only last one term.

I would respect the Dems more if they would push through health reform that's not watered down, and other things they said they would do instead of waffling and worrying about losing the House next year. They had a mandate and are blowing it.

in case anyone is interested, here is a site with Lutheran prayer beads. Lutheran Prayerbeads.com

To be perfectly honest, after 10 years of happy-clappy, I wanted to become Eastern Orthodox or Roman Catholic, but my wife pitched such a big fit, so I compromised and found something we could both live with! She wanted happy-clappy still, and I wanted deeper, and Lutheranism was a good...

I haven't quite figured out how "liberal" or "conservative" labels apply to Christianity itself, so I am lost without it being twisted up in the US political system! For example, I find Catholicism extremely tempting to convert to because they are pro-life, but at the same time support social...

I cannot remember where, but you can order non-RC rosaries on line. I am very tempted because I need to pray more, and maybe having a rosary and some rote prayers will help me develop some discipline from which to branch out into more personal prayers.

One of my religious random thoughts today was: why did God make it so complicated and hard for us to understand? 4,000 denominations and counting! And this is just in the Christian religion.

I want to chuck it all and move to Mexico

I would like to become Catholic, but have refrained due to my wife's reluctance. Our compromise has been to go to Lutheran church. I come from a happy-clappy background and really long for more substance. 1) Are the pope's words directly from God? yes in a broad sense. I don't believe...

still probably better than protestants do in following their particular brand's doctrine...for example how many Episcopalians and Lutherans really believe that Christ is truly present in the Communion elements?

I am sure the conservative people who hold sincere beliefs and are not hateful might feel the same way about liberals.

I found DaRev's comment to be as much or more sarcastic than your response.

actually in theory, since they are much bigger, you are the ones who need a new icon. You aren't mainstream Lutherans, technically! not arguing, just teasing.

awesome, b.hope! Beautiful kids! You guessed it, my daughter is in 5th grade, she will be 11 in November. She is an awesome competitive swimmer, it's too bad we have no idea about her genetics. 4'11" and 90lbs of solid muscle! I think your assessment of the black community is spot on, but...
