Meh...Father Charlatan, Pastor Charlatan, Bishop Charlatan, Reverend Charlatan, Imam Charlatan...its all the same nonsensical drivel.

Too bad that Obama isn't smart enough to ditch all this religion foolishness and fill his time with meaningful pursuits

This is what I never understand about people who profess to be Christians and yet claim love only for those just like them. Again, this is not politics. This is the basis of Christianity.

Just curious, but how many people would have done this?

The true spirit of Christ. I see little difference between this holy act and the good reverend's words.
He wasn't reminding anyone of anything. He was falsely accusing the Christian right of terrible things that weren't true. Good Reverend's words? If you think those words were good then you got some serious issues.

I agree with this.

Religion by definition is highly divisive.

In other words, Rev. Wright is no worse than any other "man of God." He just has more notoriety. Osteen, Jakes, Warren, Robertson...all of 'em...no better than Rev. Wright.

That would be a lake of understanding of the U.S tax code.

Let's clarify a bit.

Religion is only divisive by dividing sinners from believers.

Obama's pastors take it steps further and divide by race, color, sex, political affiliation. Obama's pastors always introduce hate into the equation.

Lol..."real Christians?" Love their neighbors?

First of all, you act as If such Christians are ubiquitous in the first place when in truth, they're a rarity. People living their lives according to Christian tenets is needle in a haystack stuff, and you know it.

And really, what difference does it make that the comments were made on Easter...as if that means anything. If he thinks it's the truth, then what day he says it on doesn't matter.

You should be more insulted at children chasing colored eggs and hoping for baskets with big chocolate bunnies.

What does that have to do with resurrection?

0bama is the light of intolerance, and draws other bigots, racists and intolerant left wing freaks, like moths to a flame.

I don't see this as 0bama's fault, per se, he just brings out the very worst in people.
