Bachmann and her Lutheran church

[Bikewer]

After all the furor over Obama's ex-pastor and his "inflammatory" sermons, I wonder if Bachmann will catch much flak over her association with a Lutheran church which considers the papacy to be the antichrist.
Now, many news outlets are reporting this as being that the church considers the Pope to be the antichrist, but not so, according to a statement from the outfit...
Rather, they consider the office itself to represent the antichrist.

Glad they cleared that up.

At any rate, Bachmann decided to leave this particular church prior to launching her campaign... One might think so as to not too seriously annoy large numbers of potential Catholic voters.
However, she could just have had a change of heart and her decision might not be politically motivated....
Bachmann has quite enough religious baggage to annoy any secular-minded voter, while I'm sure it all endears her to the religious right.

I'm curious as to whether you have Amy evidence to back up your lies.

Alas, you can't make stuff like this up....

She's clearly leap years ahead of Palin in the political skillz department.

Sorry, Amy Evidence is on vacation. You'll have to wait for her to get back.

"We identify the Antichrist as the Papacy," the denomination's website says. "This is an historical judgment based on Scripture."

So yeah, not the pope but the papacy is the Antichrist. (Because popes die and get replaced, but the need for an Antichrist never goes away, I guess.)

I'm sure the timing of her leaving the church has nothing to do with her political ambitions.

oh, the woes of typing on an ipad.

"any evidence"

"any evidence"

Of what? That she recently left her church? Or that her church is overtly anti-Catholic and said the papacy is the Antichrist?

(Something that doesn't even really make sense unless they really mean the Pope--each one in turn-- is the Antichrist, but they've denied they mean that.)
