Inside Sarah's Church
http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-09-05/inside-sarahs-church/?cid=hp:mainpromo2

by Max Blumenthal

To those who knew Palin, she was no ordinary hockey mom, but rather an evangelical foot soldier who spearheaded the movement’s takeover of local government. Her power base was the Wasilla Assembly of God, a Pentecostal mega-church where she was baptized and spent over 20 years as a member.

Most Pentecostal congregations are socially conservative, particularly those that are predominantly white, but Wasilla Assembly of God was in thrall to a radical Pentecostal trend once denounced by church authorities as heresy. Called the Third Wave, it was rooted in an explicitly anti-intellectual creation myth. According to the Third Wave’s founding father, William Branham, a rural Canadian preacher, Satan had sex with Eve and gave birth to Cain—the so-called “Serpent Seed.” “Through Cain came all the smart, educated people down to the antediluvian flood—the intellectuals, bible colleges,” Branham wrote. “They know all their creeds but know nothing about God.”

1. Because there's NO WAY smart people could just be less predisposed to believe the bullshit.

have perished in Noah's Flood? According to the Bible, Noah, his wife, and their three sons and the sons' wives were the only people to survive. Maybe that's something they only teach in Bible colleges.:eyes:
