'Godless' author Coulter unknown at church she claims to attend
I guess I'm the one that claims we post way too much crap about Coulter - but this isn't crap. This is a woman who writes a book that claims we liberals, including Christians like myself, are "Godless". So would would suspect that Ms. Coulter must practice what she preaches and attends someplace semi-regularly. Well it seems, just like where she decides the votes, nobody knows of her nor has her on their list of membership

'Godless' author Coulter unknown at church she claims to attend

Max Blumenthal
Published: Thursday June 8, 2006

Appearing on the cover of her latest manifesto, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, adorned with a wooden crucifix necklace, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter takes on liberals on explicitly religious grounds. Invoking the sectarian rhetoric of the Christian right, Coulter denounces liberalism as "the opposition party to God," and "a comprehensive belief system denying the Christian belief in man's immortal soul."


<<<<<<snip>>>>>>>


Yet Coulter is curiously reticent in Godless about her own religious convictions. Nowhere in her book, for instance, does Coulter declare whether she belongs to a particular religious denomination, nor does she state where – or even if – she attends religious services. An April 17, 2005 article in Time Magazine by John Cloud provided a rare description of Coulter's attendance of church, as Cloud suggested that she has been a regular attendee of New York City's Redeemer Presbyterian Church, to which "she brings a lot of people…"

In his article, Cloud described accompanying Coulter to Redeemer:

Not long ago, I went to church with Coulter--Redeemer Presbyterian, an evangelical congregation in Manhattan. The actor Ron Silver had also tagged along--Coulter brings lots of people to church, including, at one time, an ex who is Muslim. Pastor Timothy Keller spoke of the importance of allowing one's heart to be "melted by the sense of God's grace because of what he did on the cross for you."


When contacted by Raw Story, however, Redeemer Presbyterian's Communications and Media Director Cregan Cooke could not confirm that Coulter had ever attended services at the church.

"The only thing I have heard is hearsay that she is an attender" of Redeemer, Cregan told Raw Story. "Our database shows that she is not a member."

2. What's this about Coulter having an ex?
Edited on Thu Jun-08-06 12:15 PM by madinmaryland
:wtf: she was married? and was married to a Muslim?

What are the freepers going to think when they hear that?

4. Ms Coulter is a 40+ single woman
And to be honest, I don't have an issue with that since I'm pretty much the same thing on paper (although I don't lie about my age whereas several times we have caught Ms. Coulter with major lies about her age on official documents that require the correct age).

I can assure you that as a 40+ single woman - I'm no virgin. And Ms. Coulter who is a bit older than me and probably a bit more attractive in a sense since I'm a bit overweight and she's not, I hardly doubt she's saving herself for marriage

7. But what's up with this?
From your OP:
"Coulter brings lots of people to church, including, at one time, an ex who is Muslim."

18. Lynne, my post has nothing to do with single women over 40.
My comment is that there is a reference to Ann Coulter having an "ex" in your post, and that person may have been a Muslim. That just seems real ironic to me, because she has made a lot of vary nasty comments about muslims in the past. Also, if she has been married and divorced (which i have no idea whether or not she has), that would also be quite ironic and fit into the pattern of Repub hypocrisy!

Please, don't ever put yourself and Ms. Coulter in the same sentence!

26. Oh I know that
Edited on Thu Jun-08-06 03:42 PM by LynneSin
I was just pointing out the obvious - if you're 40, single and not wearing the habit of a nun - you're probably not a virgin either. But if she's this bigtime CHristian that she is - shouldn't she be saving herself for marriage. Hell this woman came out once and said that women should allow their husbands to do the voting!

Think I'm kidding?

32. Coulter said she was into "swarthy" guys
or was attracted to them at the same time she was calling them terrorists and saying they needed to be profiled.

8. What?!?!? There are no churches in Florida?!?!? I'm impressed - She must
be a truly dedicated "Christian" because that's hell of a commute for Sunday services.

where she isn't on voting database. NYC is for Churches where is name isn't in the database

Wow, a woman who writes a book called "Godless" has no record of the church she claims to attend service in! How much does that rule? :spray:

Just like the fat ass scumbag, they keep making excuses and changing the story all the time.

16. More offensive is the implication
of the title of her crap book is that to be "godless" means you're evil or immoral.

But yeah it's always nice to be able to point out the hypocrisy of people like her.

19. Hey, it worked for Ronnie Raygun too.
Didn't he do just the obligitory X-mas and Easter services but turn to Nancy's tea leaves for foreign policy advice for the rest of the year?

Edited on Thu Jun-08-06 01:58 PM by LynneSin
And yet Clinton made it a point to routinely attend the various churches in the area. He really wasn't a member of any given church but made his rounds

25. Come on, if she really was a god-fearing christian...
...who was regularly attending my church and making donations. Probably would. Especially if my name was Fred Phelps, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, James Dobson

27. This may be more information than what you want, but...
I saw that whack job Ann Coulter on Bill Maher (yes, they are friends) once and she was talking about her sex life and when she started to have orgasms. So she can't be a virgin, just a slut.

Yechhh.

24. So they've debased the word "liberal" in the USA. They say it with a sneer
and have for more than a decade. And they they are going to tell the religious that Liberals are a religion - so you have to break with god to vote Dem.

I'm still waiting to find out what political bent Hitler was.. cause according to freepers he wasn't a fascist. I'm going to call it and say... when all is said and done.. they will call Hitler a "liberal".

That's just a guess.
