her church
If I am remembering the interview correctly, she doesn't have "a church". she is not a member anywhere.
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Compassionately intolerant
Really? I need to go back and get references. She stood on the dais and endorsed a witch hunting pastor who then prayed over her and extolled God to protect her from the witches in politics.
Somehow, not being a member doesn't make it any better...in some ways worse.

God, how much do I want to go to Eastern Standard and drink nummy classic cocktails.
I approve of this plan.

If I found her endearing, I'd say she was Ralph Wiggum.
Water. Coming out of my nose.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Have you seen Amych's Flickr set?
Oh, yes! It's just that, the more she talks, the more she doesn't *need* the Ralph-isms on those pictures; her own quotes work just fine.

From the transcript on the CBS website:
Couric: Your church sponsored a conference that claimed to be able to convert gays into heterosexuals through prayer. Do you think that gays can be converted, governor?
Palin: Well, you're absolutely wrong, again, on the facts. My church, I don't have a church, I'm not a member of any church. I get to visit a couple of churches in Alaska when I'm home, including one, Wasilla Bible Church, and that's the one that you're talking about.
It would be interesting to see when she last was a member of a church.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
This is on a par with Shrub, darling of the fundamentalists, who doesn't attend church.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yeah, the witch-hunter video was from the church she grew up in, but apparently she's not currently a member there; and anyway he's not the regular pastor there -- he's a traveling speaker/evangelist type.
Neither of those things makes the whole scene any less creepy, but I always have this annoying need to get factcheck-y.
(Actually, I have a whole bunch of other thoughts about Palin's religiosity, but they're not in a making-sense place, and anyway are probably fairly boring.)
