Tea Party Leader Wants to Do Away With United Methodist Church
12/20/10-by Bridgette P. LaVictoire
In short, Judson Phillips hates America, the Constitution, and everything that the United States stands for. Of course, to him, that is not true, but then again, he recently stated “In short, if you hate America, you have a great future in the Methodist church.” He even dreams of having the Methodist Church driven from the United States. He wants to do the same with Islam. In fact, Phillips believes that the Methodist Church is “the first Church of Karl Marx” and “little more than the religious arm of socialism.”
He said, according to Talking Points Memo:
“The Methodist church is pro-illegal immigration. They have been in the bag for socialist health care, going as far as sending out emails to their membership “debunking” the myths of Obamacare. Say, where are the liberal complaints on the separation of church and state?”
Recently, Phillips went on record saying that it was a good idea to go back to the days when only the landed gentry had access to the ballot. This was common practice at one point. America has not always had universal suffrage. Of course, this is a racist and sexist idea given that the vast majority of property owners in the United States are white and male.
It should be noted that Karl Marx was a Lutheran.

The name of Karl Marx is probably the best known of any founder of a political or economic system…
Karl Marx was born in Trier, an ancient German city in the Rhineland…
His ancestors, Jewish on both his mother’s and father’s sides, were rabbis.
His father, Heinrich, had converted to Protestantism in 1816 or 1817 in order to continue practicing law after the Prussian edict denying Jews to the bar.
Karl was born in 1818 and baptized in 1824, but his mother, Henriette, did not convert until 1825, when Karl was 7.
While the family did not appear religious at all — it was said that not a single volume on religion or theology was in Heinrich’s modest library — Karl was raised in an atmosphere of religious toleration.
There was some discrimination against Jews in the area, but general religious tolerance was the standard. Karl was sent to religious school primarily for academic rather than religious training. On the whole, the family was not committed to either evangelical Protestantism or evangelical Judaism.
Vincent Miceli notes:
The family lived as very liberal Protestants, that is, without any profound religious beliefs. Thus, Karl grew up without an inhibiting consciousness of himself as being Jewish. In changing his credal allegience, or course, the father, newly baptized Heinrich, experienced the alienation of turning his back on his religious family and traditions. Thus, though politically emancipated and socially liberated from the ghetto, the experience of being uprooted and not completely at home in the Germany of the nineteenth century did affect the Marx family (Miceli, Atheism, pp. 94, 95).
