Marco Rubio's Miami Church: Exorcisms, Creationism, Anti-Gay Policies

He seems positioned to appeal to the anti-LGBT, creationist segment of the Protestant evangelical right.

"On most Saturday nights, we still attend services at Christ Fellowship, especially if Pastor Rick [Blackwood] is preaching the sermon. His sermons still inspire me to grow in my Christian faith... Some of my Catholic friends occasionally express concern over my continued association with Christ Fellowship. But I don't think you can go to church too often..." -- Marco Rubio, An American Son: A Memoir

"Evolution is not based on observable evidence. Creation is based on observable evidence." -- Rick Blackwood, 2014 sermon

"I could sense the demons going out of this man and the Spirit of God entering him" -- Rick Blackwood, describing his 2011 exorcism of a demon-possessed church member

Its bad enough that we elect presidents who believe in imaginary and magic sky fairies but this is just plain scary.

Well, it's his constutitional right to worship where he wants to.

Rubio would be a breath of fresh air after 7 years of Hope and Change. .....

The retouching needs a little more demonic red, I think. And the ears aren't pointed enough yet.

Keep working on that.

No.

No apostrophe should be in "stays."

Illiterate conservative sign fail #6, 666, 666.

 

[Agit8r]

Religious demonization has long been a part of electoral politics. Just ask Thomas Jefferson.

 

[Old Rocks]

Well, on 20Jan17, President Obama's terms will end. If the market is at present levels, the unemployment in the 5% range, and we have renewable energy going in that is cheaper and cleaner than dirty coal, you fellows are going to look the fools you are.

 

[Mr. H.]

Which church did Obama attend? Jeremiah's?

Oh that's right- he wasn't listening at the time.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Well, it's his constutitional right to worship where he wants to.

True.

But it's not one's Constitutional right to seek to compel religious conformity through force of law.

And that's the problem with social conservative politicians such as Rubio, they refuse to acknowledge the wall of separation between church and state mandated by the Constitution. Imagine, for example, the judges the likes of Rubio as president would attempt to appoint to the Federal courts, judges hostile to the rights of women, gay Americans, and Establishment Clause jurisprudence in general that ensures subjective, errant religious dogma is not codified into secular law all must obey.

 

[Political Junky]

Rubio spent time as a Mormon and a Catholic before this church.

Tell that to the far left religious followers, Oh wait that is you!!

come on now, after 7 years I understand that hope and change thing.
I hope I get to keep some change after obama tries to redistribute my income.
as far as the condemning someone for what their church is about, where was this concern when obamas pastor was saying God DAMN America.
seems a bit hypocritical to me

Assume if we read Rev. Wrights' church's 'statement of faith' or principles we'd see a lot of distressing things as well.

 

[Mr. H.]

Why don't you sorry fucks go into politics and try to survive.

The media will scrutinse your pubes.
