I'm firmly seated in the atheist row now.

Does that make me a catholic?
No it makes you sane. I always wondered why my parents wanted me to worship old men who wore pointy hats and Prada shoes.

From Black theology beliefs..


"Black theology cannot accept a view of God which does not represent God as being for oppressed blacks and thus against white oppressors. Living in a world of white oppressors, blacks have no time for a neutral God. The brutalities are too great and the pain too severe, and this means we must know where God is and what God is doing in the revolution. There is no use for a God who loves white oppressors the same as oppressed blacks. We have had too much of white love, the love that tells blacks to turn the other cheek and go the second mile. What we need is the divine love as expressed in black power, which is the power of blacks to destroy their oppressors, here and now, by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject God's love." [A Black Theology of Liberation, p. 70]


James Hal Cone - Wikiquote
The message is about people who believe in White Supremacy and a the view that was prominent in many white Christian churches that God favors and blesses whites and those of European descent. Why would any human believe in a God that finds them inferior.

Do you believe that whites and those of European descent are superior in Gods view to other groups?

Wright was also, Obama's mentor, friend, and he even baptized his children. To sit in a church every Sunday, for 20 years, listening to Wright's sermons bashing America and white people, is NOT normal.
If someone does not agree with Obama's policies or anything about him for that matter, we are considered racist...but Obama attending a white- hating, white bashing church for 20 years, is not racist?!
Rev. Wright "bashed" particular American polices and white supremacy. Trinity UCC is voluntarily a member of a predominately (94%+) white denomination. Trinity would not be members and Rev. Wright wouldn't have served the denomination for 36 years if he and they hated white people.

Which came first? Dominionists or Birchers?

I was a card carrying Bircher for a short while back in the early 60's. Even they were not this nuts.

People on this board have discussed my status as an illegal immigrant, overlooking the fact that I have a Green Card.

By typing that sentence, did I just confess to being an illegal immigrant? No. I dismissed these people (and their opinions) as being silly or ill-informed. Nothing to see here. But wait! - we can breitbart it:

Look at that! The insidious Dane just confessed to being an illegal!

It's a simple trick, designed to work on simple minds.

And he was RAISED as a muslim in Indonesia, right?
I was raised a Christian... and the more I see these "Christians" around here, the more I hate to call self a Christian. Does that work? Heck, my friend with middle name "Christian" was raised by over the top Catholic parents. I guess, regardless of what he considers self to be, by your definitions he is still a Catholic. No? Because y'all know better about others' personal beliefs, lives...?

The difference is I don't want God to damn America. My Christian belief leads me to believe that God will remove his blessings upon this country that has been blessed.

We as a nation was formed under the Judeo-Christian ethics but now as Obama stated we are no longer a Christian nation.


Many here believe that supporting Israel is no longer important including our president as he chastised the Jewish nation and upheld the Palestinians even though they do not want peace but to kill every Jew in Israel.

He doesn't want God to actually damn or destroy America. His point was that you can not engage in particular actions which are clearly against the will of God and then turn around and expect God's Blessing.

Obama said it was "not only" a Christian nation. It never was only a Christian nation.

Not all Palestinians want to kill every Jew in Israel. There are plenty of people on both sides the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that want peace. However, there are also lots of people on both sides who don't.
