Survey of pastors: Bush, Palin Christians; Obama, Oprah, Beck not
Associated Baptist Press

Quote:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (ABP) -- A majority of Protestant pastors believes that George W. Bush and Sarah Palin are Christians but President Obama, Glenn Beck and Oprah Winfrey are not.

Those are findings of a LifeWay Research survey of 1,000 pastors polled about their understanding of the faith of five well-known public personalities Oct. 7-14, 2010.
Ed Stetzer

Ed Stetzer, president of LifeWay Research, said Dec. 7 that most Americans consider themselves to be Christians and for many of them what has been called the "Oprahfication" of American spirituality is a positive thing. Among pastors, however, just 19 percent believe that Oprah Winfrey is a Christian.

...

I suppose they are divided about whether President Obama is a Muslim or a LIBBERUL

Quote:

...

Eighty-four percent of pastors who identified their political views as liberal or very liberal said former President Bush is a Christian, compared to 74 percent of conservatives and 75 percent of those identified as very conservative.

...

Still too LIBBERUL for some folks.

Oprah worships only Oprah, and why not? for She is the Oprah, mightiest in the heavens, scourge of the firmament, and harrower of the flesh of the undeaded. Glorious is Her holy name, and radiant Her sanctity! May Her unfurled tentacle touch the minds of all who believe in Her, and grant them the awful vision of Her true presence. Giving up sanity is a small price to pay in order to behold Her dread magnificence in all Her glory!! Ia! Ia! Oprah fhtagn!!!

And don't forget "Oprah" is "Satan" spelled backwards.
