Oh Ralph
FresnoBee.com: California State Wire: Calif. Capitol chaplain says religious tolerance offends God: "An evangelical chaplain who leads Bible studies for California lawmakers says God is disgusted with a rival fellowship group that includes people of all faiths.
Capitol Ministries head Ralph Drollinger says the members of the other group may be pleasant, but that God is disgusted with them for allowing people to participate without requiring them to accept Jesus Christ as the Messiah.
He made the remarks on the Capitol Ministries Web site.
Sacramento Sen. Darrell Steinberg, who is Jewish and will be the Senate president pro tem next year, said Drollinger's remarks were intolerant and troubling.
Drollinger has held Capitol Bible study for more than a decade. He is not paid by the state."
I absolutely love these stories. It simply proves how cooky all of this can get. This chaplain says he knows what God thinks, that god is disgusted. More troubling than his belief that he can read the mind of God is that he has been at the Capitol for that long. The California Capitol, the state known for its accepting of all kinds of people, for its leadership, and ahead-of-its-time status. And then there's Ralph. What to do with Ralph and the other Ralph's among us?
