When it comes to finding controversial pastors, President Obama sure knows how to pick them. While attending Easter services at St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington this morning, President Obama listened as Rev. Dr. Luis Leon spoke not of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but of the religious right as bigots who hate blacks, women, immigrants, and gays. The report came from the White House press pool and posted by TheBlaze.com.
According to reports, Rev. Leon used his Easter sermon to attack religious conservatives, saying “It drives me crazy when the captains of the religious right are always calling us back…for blacks to be back in the back of the bus…for women to be back in the kitchen…for immigrants to be back on their side of the border,” Leon also said the religious right wants gays to stay in the closet.

Yes, we’re bigots because we believe the Bible describes certain behaviors as SIn.
So it makes you a bigot to judge people, not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
John 7:24
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
~ The words of Jesus in the Gospel of John
Judge not or you will be judged by the standards that you set... this so-called preacher is destined for hell. Repent! How was chitown Saturday night rev???

In just a few years...your opinion will cause your arrest. Don’t kid yourself, anti-Christian totalitarians are moving to make this prespective illegal.
Pastor is right, in the good ole days like 1910 women and people of color were not treated equally, in fact people were less educated. Only 6 percent graduated high school, and 20 percent cannot read. About 80 percent of Americans were poor farmers and low wage factory workers. Despite being less educated and poorer then Americans today, the US in 1910 had 230 murders. Prorate it to today’s US population that is about 700 murders in 2012. Chicago alone had 530 murders in 2012. So Pastor, why did a more conservative society, whom was less educated and more poor had less violent crime then today? For gun controllers, here a bigger puzzle, in 1910 there was less gun regulations, if you can afford it you can own a belt fed Maxim machinegun!!???
The Epistle of Jude is devoted exclusively to warning about “pastors” of this type
The whole “gay rights” thing is about criminalizing Christianity.
Look at Canada as an example of a country being a step or two closer to this goal.
Just counter with “I’m not judging the person, I’m judging their behavior according to a clear biblical standard.”
Leftists/liberals cannot define their standard for right and wrong, because it’s based on contemporary consensus. That doesn’t stand up to scrutiny at all because, historically, some things that we judge to be abhorrent were accepted by contemporary standards.
