Blinded by Belief
Lisa Sexton, 42, a Bible school volunteer at Fairfield Christian Church -- a 4,000 member megachurch in Lancaster, Ohio -- "believes every word in the Bible, rejects evolution theory, and supports the Iraq war, the Republican Party and Bush -- in part because he is a born-again Christian," reports Andrea Hopkins in The Washington Post.
"I trust his opinion because of his beliefs," she says.
Fairfield Christian's senior pastor Russell Johnson, you'll be shocked to learn, "is being investigated by the Internal Revenue Service for possible violations of a law that prohibits churches and charities from participating in political campaigns."
Johnson says he didn't do anything wrong, but then Bush says, "We do not torture.''
Suppose we should believe them?
