You are mistaken: This wasn't a Christian Church. Christians do not preach what Wright does.

I still think he is a closet Muslim. He is certainly not a Christian.

Organized religion is a con game. Who needs a middle man?

It was a Christian church, although not the kind that I go to. You'd be surprised what you hear in churches sometimes. Didn't that one Christian pastor just he prays that Obama dies?

I hate it when churces push political agenda. My church is very Republican and sometimes they disappoint me when they push politics there. That is NOT why I go to church.

That is probably true. That is why I would feel a whole lot better about the guy if he just threw off the "president" and "Christian" mask and just asked us to kneel to his magnificence and sacrfice a few goats. At least that part would be honest. Who knows, he might take on a whole new path and start being honest about other things as well.

To some. I usually learn something from the homily and the subsequent interpretation. I find it interesting, but I know many do not. To each his own.

I assure you, christianity is the con game. I would prefer that my President be non religious, but if he is christian, it's nice to not have to hear about it.

It's no one's business what a person believes unless those beliefs become actions that cause great harm. I don't care if he puts on purple tights, and swings from the lamp post. It's not up to anyone to tell any of us what we MUST believe. How do people plan to force those beliefs ? Crowbar ? Stuffing, and cramming tool ? Prop eyes open with toothpicks ?
