“Just goes to show that faith in Jesus doesn’t automatically make you rational.”
Just because these people go to church doesn’t mean they have faith in Jesus. A lot of the black churches are like Rev. Wright’s “God-damn-America”’s church, i.e, a political meeting place.
Of course, there are many folks who have faith in Jesus AS THEY KNOW HIM (i.e., similar to the real Jesus, but not quite accurate).
That might be what's taught in most of the churches in the world today.
