The Ohio Restoration Project Should Scare You Silly

In my travels across the Internets I came across yet another fanatical right-wing group, The Ohio Restoration Project (Christians--AGAIN) whom our eyes should be upon, big-time.

Of particular note given recent comments to this blog's post Tony Perkins Hates America, regarding religion as Big Business, is the group's founder Reverend Rod Parsley who "...lives a lavish lifestyle that he presents as a success story to the viewers of his television show Breakthrough, broadcast to a worldwide audience". According to one parson interveiwed for the story some Christians view oppulent lifestyle displays like the agnostics among us--as red flags.

Further, this group IS solidly advocating and fundraising for political influence, and who is one of their favorite sons? Why Kenneth Blackwell--the man most likely to have destroyed democratic elections in Ohio in 2004--who'da thunk it?

Is Ohio the next Texas?

Anyway, ePluribus Media has the skinny on this one: “This Isn’t America’s Mission”: An Ohio Pastor’s Objection to the Marriage of Politics and Religion in the Ohio Restoration Project"
