Church affiliation

If I was running for public office and someone questioned the preachings of my church I would not apologize or start the spins and damage control. If I am in my church it is because I agree with what is taught at my church. Of course, that is if as a Christian one attends a Christ centered and Bible centered church. In Barack Hussein Obama's case there are a ton of questions surrounding his judgement. How can someone sit in a church for 20 years and not realize that the messages being preached are not only NOT CHRISTIAN but also racist? What does the US's foreign policy have to do with the New Testament? What does preaching about Christ have to do with politics? BHO needs to be held accountable for this and he should not get a free pass. Anyone who accepts this whole notion of Black Liberation Theology should not call themselves Christian but should call themselves just: BLT's (T for theologian) I mean, COMMON PEOPLE!!! Give me a break! If it had been Joel Osteen making the same remarks the whole country would be flipping! In my opinion Obama had two choices: (and that speech was again just words) He could've said screw you all because this is my church and I stand by my pastor of 20 years, or he could've done what he did which was try to minimize the damage he brought upon himself. His speech (which was too long as usual) was only a way to change the focus from his lack of good judgement to a bigger issue: race in America. Unless people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson stop calling everyone who says anything in regards to race a racist the racial tensions in America will never end. The biggest proponents of racism in America today are the very people who benefit from the "struggle". Obama would've gotten a lot more respect from me if he had chosen the former option of not apologizing! The latter was just bologna! To say he didn't know what was going on is ridiculous! He either agrees with the teachings of his church or he admits he does not have good judgement.
(SIDE NOTE: What drives a Harvard graduate man and a Harvard graduate wife to go to a church like that to raise their children in? Wait a minute! Could it be political advantage in the community? As everyone recalls, Barack was not black enough in the beginning.)
Why belong to a group based solely on the race or color one is born with? That's a question that puzzles me about blacks and hispanics in America. To be split into groups because of life choices is acceptable: Gays, college students, senior citizens, union workers, people who love to bird watch, capitalists, socialists, environmentalists (wait a minute, the last two are the same people. My bad) To be grouped because of race or color is demeaning in every manner. Martin Luther King Jr's dream was for there to be equality. He dreamed of a society where people would be judged by the content of their character as opposed to the color of their skin. That is not the America we live in today because black people seem to refuse to live that way. Why is it that most black people vote democrat? Whatever happened to individuality? Why place yourself in a defined group based solely on the color of your skin? We are all individuals! In order to be judged by the content of our character we must stop splitting into biased groups defined by features we were born with. I applaud people like Larry Elder and Condoleeza Rice!!! They are true champions! The scrutiny they probably face from their family members must be insane!
In regards to Obama's church I'm sure that there are many churches who misuse the pulpit and take God's name in vain the way pastor Wright does. What does this mean for Christianity? How does this edify the church body? When did Jesus discriminate because of race or color? If all you have been fed in church is the same garbage Barack's pastor preaches the answer is NEVER!!! We are all loved by God and His Son died for ALL of us! Isn't it ironic how racism changed sides in America? Check out this video when you have a chance. It's only 3 minutes long and it pretty much sums it all up about Barack Hussein Obama. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUbUBTlmAiA

Brilliant! Such wisdom...someone should pay you for this! I also think Mr.Osama....I mean....OBAMA..should have shown some "...(manliness)..." and not make himself look stupid for going against something he's an actual PART of ...for so many yrs. What does that say about him? What kind of beliefs does he have? I just think he'll deal w/ everything else that he's saying he'lL DO in the same manner?! "Um, what? No.....I never said that....I wasn't there. NO CREDIBILITY at all!!! Filipe, you have to SPREAD THE WORD!
