Extremely disturbing
Moore draws applause in area sermon
It was a star-spangled "God and Country" Sunday for some 800 members and guests at Madison Baptist Church, with former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore preaching a sermon on the interlinking of faith and fatherland.
I don't know about you, but I get nervous when right-wing charismatics start talking about the fatherland. Anyway, the latest line is that church and government are to be separated and not church and state. "He did not elaborate on the difference between the terms state and government."

The service Sunday included the congregation, many wearing red, white and blue, singing hymns from the sections of the hymnal entitled "Christian Warfare" and "Patriotic."
I'm so sorry I missed it - NOT!
