I am not sure, as we didn't have coffee hour today, so everybody just left (but I suspect Certain People were unhappy, as they went to the protests last weekend (the ones where people were spitting and yelling the n-word and f-word at Congressmen) and came to the church dinner afterward and described our president as a "sorry son of a ---" I didn't hear the rest as I had to leave the room to avoid punching things. Why are people complicated? Why can't I just declare them Bad People and write them off?)
Actually, Pastor didn't come right out and preach explicitly about the health care bill - which I am glad of, because the point of "Leave the politics to the politicians and keep them out of the Temple" applies to liberals as well as to F*cktards - he was using the Congressional leadership as an example of how a triumphal entry (no matter how hard-earned) is just the overture to even more hate and persecution, and you can't rest on one triumph. I was gratified that he just smoothly, automatically and without comment cast the Democrats as the good guys and the Republicans as the bad guys. Plus he prefaced it with a recap of Homeless Resource Day yesterday, featuring several specific stories of people who have been completely left behind by our current system, just so the point was completely unmissable. Not preaching politics from the pulpit, just casually making it unmissable that one party is far more in line with Christ's message than the other. :D I liked.
