I agree, its foolish to stereotype one particular region as being the only place where racism exists. After all, racism is a person making a judgement of another person based on their race. That means anyone, of any race, is equally capable of racism.

It’s going to continue to be a problem in every region of the country as long as people wrongly believe that racism is confined to white people who live in the south.

There are no racists on the west coast??

I’m not saying everyone on the west coast is a racist, but it’s just factually wrong to say that no one is.

I remember this guy. At the church I used to go to they had a tape ministry in the back room, with a fine assortment of phil kidd material along with the usual tapes of the pastor’s sermons. I remember one was called “A nation without a fag…er flag”, he says, and another one was “the sounds of hell” with that recording of the gaping hole in the earth leading down to hell. Anyone remember that one? He isn’t very big on subtlety. I think I still have a tape or 2 of his stuff around.

I’m with Don here. Jesus rebuked the pharisees and teachers of the law for acting in an oppressive way and focusing more on rules and legalism than truly following God. This is what fundy preachers do to modern day believers. Why should we not stand up to them the way Christ stood up to the pharisees?? Why should we turn a blind eye to the oppression that they are bringing about on the children of God when Jesus didn’t do that with the pharisees??

I actually couldn’t hear what was preached on this thread (It wasn’t working for me ~ Don’t worry, I have heard plenty throughout my life, I will survive) But your comment to just let it go (It doesn’t merit my attention) really bugs me. I will tell you why. Ego-driven attention whores can get up and spout all kinds of inaccurate, irrelevant garbage to whoever is deluded enough (or forced by their parents) to sit and listen. Then can’t handle ANY disagreement or ANY rational presentation of FACTS and if they WERE presented with any TRUTH or FACTS they would bring in their back up gang (the old ushers and “security” guys.) If YOU don’t like what is being presented on THIS blog, why don’t YOU just not bother with it. I am sure it isn’t worth your time anyway. At least HERE you can put up an idiotic comment like that and nobody is shutting you up or dragging you out. You probably should get back to your ministry now. Does your preacher know you are here?

My sister did marry one. African-American, not racist. That took some getting used to for my IFB family. Even more than me becoming Anglican, and my brother marrying a Lutheran and joining her church.

So we should just turn a blind eye to error? Just give it a wink and a nod and ignore the damage being done? This junk as gone on long enough..too long! To not stand up to so-called preaching like this is to give it tacit approval, and I’m one former fundy that will no longer be silent when I have the opportunity to speak out against pulpiteers that present a corrupt, bankrupt gospel as Phil Kidd does. His ministry is built on sensationalism; emotional, mental and spiritual manipulation; and pulpit bullying. The Lord rebuke him for the way he represents Christ and Christianity.

I think you should send him a note telling him not to preach on people he doesn’t agree with and just not worry about them.

I mean, if you feel like that’s the best course of action in that given situation it’s best to at least be even-handed about it.

Sounds like most of you who have commented feel incredibly threatened by this preacher. If you don’t agree with him, don’t worry about it. It shouldn’t merit your attention.

I’d bet you 10-1 that if you could find out when that was preached and then look at the newspaper archives for that day, there would be no accident. These guys make it up as they go.
