Gov. Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin asked church members to pray for $30 billion natural gas pipeline in Alaska.
She belonged to the Wasilla Assembly of God church in her hometown of Wasilla, Alaska. But though she attended the church from her teenage years through to 2002, she hasn't talked much about her religion since joining the Republican ticket.
Palin's former pastor, Tim McGraw, says that like many Pentecostal churches, some members speak in tongues, although he says he's never seen Palin do so. Church member Caroline Spangler told CNN, "When the spirit comes on you, you utter things that nobody else can understand ... only God can understand what is coming out of our mouths."
Some Pentecostals from Assembly of God also believe in "faith healing" and the "end times" -- a violent upheaval that they believe will deliver Jesus Christ's second coming.
"Our basic belief is that God is God and he knows where history is going and he has a purposeful plan and within the middle of that plan we live in an environment in our world where certain events would take place," says McGraw. "Sarah wasn't taught to look for one particular sign -- a cataclysmic sign. She knew as every Christian does ... that God is sovereign and he is in control."...
Continues on link. If she comes out and says we need to have a nuclear war with Iran because it's in the Bible then I'll believe she's a nut. Until then, who cares! This article is not slamming her as a nut, this is just the wiffle ball CNN tosses up for the blogs to pound. Ought to be funny, good timing to bury the Musli....errr Christian tongue tied fellow.
What's next? Prime time interview with a neighbor that reveals she didn't cut her grass often enough?
