Mrs Palin's religion - updated

The leftists are ranting about Palin being a dangerously fanatical Bible-thumping Neanderthal. According to one leftist, she's a "holy roller:"

The Assemblies of God are Pentecostals, of course, the real "holy rollers"--ecstatic experience of the Godhead in your own body, rolling in the aisles, talking in tongues. When I got some exposure to them, they were extremely conservative and strict (no dancing, no lipstick, no short skirts) but Palin is evidence of how they've mainstreamed themselves.

I got this email from a friend today who forwarded an email from Gary and Kathy Moore of Wasilla:

Kathy and I have been friends with her [Palin's] mom and dad since we moved up to Alaska in 1985. Her dad was Amy's 5th grade teacher. We can verify everything that falls beneath the Sarah Palin name below. The only correction I see, is that she now attends Wasilla Bible Church. I have read blogs that state: she belongs to a radical church. Kathy and I attend Wasilla Bible and it is not a radical church at all. It is much the same as any country church, but larger. Our pastor was educated at Multnomah School of the Bible in Portland Oregon. He bends over backwards to not have any political agenda! If it is not in the Bible, then you will not hear it from the pulpit.

If you have not heard this lady speak, you owe it to yourself to take the time to listen to her. She speaks from the heart. She knows the life of a common person. She actually knows what a gallon of milk costs in Wasilla, because she shops there! I think that you will be pleasantly surprised by a person, who for a change, is not an East Coast Lawyer, who speaks for hours and says nothing. She will give us something concrete and doable!! Many ideas sound great until we ask ourselves, are they doable, .. can they actually be done or are we just posturing?

If Mrs Palin's "country church" is anything like the community church in our village, then it is a pretty mainstream evangelical church not some weird cult as the left is saying.

UPDATE: Here's a website of Sermons from Wasilla Bible Church. I read a few and there was absolutely nothing in them that was controversial, weird or outre.
