Maybe instead of researching just Mormonism , You will get enlightened by reading what Black Liberation Theology is and the founder Cone. After all if you want to debate get something to debate what Cone said.

Where did I say anything about you? You know how GOP voters love to portray him as a muslim and the next day he is a radical Christian. Anything goes.

You do it by cherrypicking some comments made by some guy named Cone, and then you say "this is what Obama believes". It's slander. You don't know what Obama believes, you don't even know if he ever saw the guy. Obama was a member of the UCC church and it is not some radical black extremist organizaton, but a mostly white church.

A guick google reveals that Cone teaches in NYC, while Obama's church was nowhere near NYC.

You never expected or even wanted a debate. You just want to preach at us, as usual. You have a God complex Taratova--you think you're God, worthy to sit in judgment on everyone who isn't as pious as you. I bet Jesus weeps every time you post.

Cone also referred to Justice Thomas as not being black at all.
Was Cone the pastor of Obama's church?

If Obama were looking for street cred, I don't think he would have joined a UCC church, he would have joined a Baptist, Pentacostal or AME church.

I will repeat yet again.

How does Obama's affiliation with Rev. Wright compare with Romney's affiliation with a religion that supports polygamy, claims the existence of imaginary white people in the Americas, claims black people are cursed angels and whose founder was an unrepentant racist and misogynist?

Rev. Wright believes and follows Jesus Christ. Rev. Wright's beliefs have been influenced by multiple theologians, including Dr. Cone. Taking words out of Dr. Cone's mouth and putting them in Rev. Wright's is no more valid than taking words out of Rev. Wright's mouth and putting them in Obama's mouth.

Theologically, I bet if you quizzed the members of Trinity and its ministers you would not find a total uniformity of beliefs. Neither the UCC nor Trinity require a uniformity of beliefs.

Like said before, I can only imagine how they would attack Romney and mormonism if he was running as a Democrat. Now that he is running as a Rep, they are trying to do their best not even mentioning it.
