What really cracks me up about this deals with the big todo over the thesis, his attending Regent, and the allegation he is a clone of Robertson. Yet yesterday Deeds was all over Hampton Roads politicking from the pulpits of 11 Baptist churches.
I do laugh at the concept of a “black” church. I’ve never seen one. The church we attend is white, and I should know, I helped paint it. My daughter often joins a friend of hers for the Youth Group Bible study at a local Baptist Church, but that church is red.
A woman I know through my daughter called me today about something going on at their church next month. She brought up the subject of Deeds being in the churches yesterday and how wrong it was. Her husband is the Minister at their church, which has a congregation that is mostly black and hispanic. Her attitude was “I’m black, but I’m not stupid, and I don’t want anyone politicking when they should be praising the Lord.” She was totally fit to be tied about it.

You painted the church building where the church meets. The people are the church, not the building.
