I have to say, I think this whole issue of racism with Obama's church and his minister is the scariest thing I have ever heard of in my lifetime.
I never imagined that a Christian church affiliation could teach so much hate in it.
According to the United Church of Christ's doctrine, the church believes in spreading God's love. If you would like to read more about this organization, here's the link to their site.

I have to admit, if I went to a church and the minister started talking about how the blacks in America are the cause of all our problems, etc, I would get up and walk out of that church and never go back because I DO believe in God's love for all mankind no matter what color we are. I sure wouldn't stay 20 years and then try to dismiss it as "it's not really how I feel." You don't raise children in a church you don't agree with their teachings. No one does.

How do you feel about gay people?


Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.

What does that have to do with my original post?
But I don't have a problem with gay people. I am not gay but I have friends who are and they aren't any different than I am except their sexual preference.

Now.....why you ask?

Sorry, I wanted to see what you said before I made my intentions clear.

There's so many Christians out there who would say how horrible it is for someone like
Obama's pastor to say things like that, but they themselves can't even stand the idea of
someone gay or treating them just like any other person who should be loved.

That being said, you're clearly not that way.

I'm glad to hear someone who holds to what Jesus taught about loving everyone.

Interesting point you make, but Like Obama said the most segregated hour is on Sunday. He has been the only man in our time to call out black and whites on their racism while running for president. You have to love this country more then the presidency to say condem the racism that becomes apparent on Sunday by Christians.

jgore, I understand your point of segregation hours on Sunday except that there are numerous churches that blacks and whites both attend. We have a multi-racial church and I love it. We are all God's children. Instead of spreading hate between races, we as God's children, should be spreading love for our fellow man.
Maybe I am confused that in this day and age when I see more and more multi-racial marriages, children and their friends together, non-segregated schools, and businesses, that there are people who still believe the majority of people are racist.
I think I can honestly say that it's what is in someone's heart that matters more to me than where they come from or what color their skin is.

Just because some ones spirital leader is a bigot and racist doesn't mean they are.

My dad was one of the worst racists I have ever met. Doesn't mean I"m one.
