Yeah, can't have a pastor that's as outrageously nutty as BO's Pastor "wrong" and have someone like that insult BO, now can we?! gasp....
A white preacher best not talk about politics anywhere near an election season or his church can lose its tax-exempt status, but obama's pastor, "Wright" is his given name....from what I've read and heard, HE got away with talking horribly about politics as well as our nation and was not a bit fearful of the laws concerning churches and Election Cycles.
I would too. Now if it were W he was talking about, I'd shout out a big "Amen!" maybe even a "hell yeah!"
Well you were there, did you? I would have gotten up and walked out if the Pastor said the same about W. Not appropriate for a sermon and I would know I was in the wrong church.

No, I was listening on the radio -- I remember thinking that if more preachers preached like him I'd go to church way more often.
Liberals attack churches? What a stupid statement. Liberals only attack those who try to discriminate against a particular group. Churches have no place in government policies and should have no voice in making laws.
It will be interesting over the next couple of months here in MD. The Black churches are leading the petition drive to place the recently enacted Gay Marriage law on the November ballot in order to repeal it.
You might wanta check your sources, I think you have that backwards.
How's this? Para 5 or so.

THE LEADERS of the referendum are, Nei l Pa r r ot t, Cha ir m a n - Ma rj o r ie Car tw r igh t , Treas u r er, are either of them tied to a black church?
Funny, I have no problem with the link. Here are the referendum supporters, no black churches listed as leaning the effort.
Quote:
Supporters.
The following are supporters of the veto referendum; therefore, opponents of same-sex marriage in the state: In response to the pending legislation, Delegate Don Dwyer, Jr. said, "I can assure you that, should this bill come out of the House, it will go to referendum." Dwyer added that an effort to place a referendum on the ballot would begin as soon as the bill is passed. [15]
Sen. Nancy Jacobs said, "I don't think the votes on that board accurately represent the citizens of the state of Maryland. I think the vote on referendum in 2012 will be the vote of the people and I think this deserves to go to the people, and I'm sure it will." [16]
The Maryland Family Alliance is opposed to the proposed legislation. [17] Derek McCoy, president of the organization, said that if the legislation isn't stopped in the House or Senate it is critical to ensure that the a veto referendum effort is initiated. [18][19]
Maryland Delegate Neil Parrott has set up a website, MDPetitions.com, with the purpose of garnering votes to put the referendum on the ballot. [20]
Just something I realized as I watched Al Sharptongue compare voting ID laws to Jim Crow laws, a topic for another thread. Anyway could it be because liberals know most black churches are fully owned and operated subsidiaries of the DNC? Is it because they know many black pastors are paid shills for the Democrat Party and this is exactly how they want it? All the while they attack white churches that are legitimate religious organizations and not political propaganda outlets? Whatever happened to separation of church and state? Is this not integration of church and state when the church serves as nothing more than a Democrat Party propaganda outlet? I thought liberals were all for separation of church and state. I guess not when it suits their agenda.
So your basic rant, no matter how ill informed and lacking any facts what so ever is the following.
All Black Churches are bad.
All White Churches are good.
Right now the only thing I can do is shake my head. Are humans really this stupid.
Why are there black and white churches anyway? Is America really still this racist? See this is why I hate religion. It promotes so much hate and stupidity.
