Although I don’t like criticizing my favorite candidate, I feel once again that I must in the sake of honesty and unbiased reporting. Recently there has been some controversy over Obama’s church. Supposedly Obama was shocked over all the questions over his religion/place of worship, which is a joke considering he is running for president and in many minds is still considered a muslim (which isn’t true btw).
I have visited the churches website, and although I am not as outraged as many others, I still am a bit surprised and worried. Many of the most important values of the church are cultural not biblical. It calls itself “unashamedly black”, which begs the question whether white people are allowed – and if not, then I would have to reconsider my support of Obama since supporting such a church and being spiritually lead by such a church is completely wrong and unbiblical. It would be reverse racism to the highest degree, without the violence at least…
Another factor has been Obama’s Pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. First of all, he shouldn’t be preaching politics from the pulpit, at least not unashamedly biased politics. He said “Some argue that blacks should vote for Clinton “because her husband was good to us,” he continued. “That’s not true,” “He did the same thing to us that he did to Monica Lewinsky.”
First of all I’m not sure what that means… Bill Clinton had sex with America? Second, he’s at the pulpit! For such actions many churches lose their tax exemption, and if he continues he should as well. Third, make a logical and intelligent for goodness sakes if your gonna make one at all! And fourth, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???
Although I’m glad Obama disavowed his pastors comments, the Reverend is going to be a big liability if he doesn’t learn to shut his mouth. And I’m still a bit disturbed by the churches theology. I’m gonna have to learn more though before I make any really big decisions on the subject…
