There's stuff on this United Church of Christ somewhere in "Search" from a few weeks back. It's Black Separatist it seems.

My understanding is that UCC is very similar to what Unitarians used to be before they merged with the Universalists. Based on their website, Obama's particular church in Chicago is best thought of as an afrocentric unitarian offshoot movement. It makes sense that Obama would join them, as both his mother and grandparents were very active Unitarians.

You have to remember who raised Obama. His polygamist muslim birth father abandoned him and his mother to take wife #3 when Jr. was a baby. His mother, a kooky unitarian flower child, married another muslim who raised Obama until he was 10. Then Obama went to live with his grandparents in Hawaii, also Unitarians. He grew up learning Unitarianism and Islam, and when he reached adulthood he found a church that was accomodating to both of them.

The key to Obama's religious beliefs is found by looking at what produced him: unitarian liberals with an infatuation for islam. These types are basically all a bunch of multicultural leftists who think of Jesus as a "philosopher" or "great teacher" and little more. They share a common practice with most Unitarian and the more liberal UCC congregations in that they regularly invite in "clergy" from other religions (except for mainstream Christianity and Judaism) to give sermons so they can "learn" about different cultures. This basically permits multiculturalist practitioners of other religions to form a club with like-minded multiculturalists and nominally attach it to the name of Jesus, which they then justify by adopting the slogan that "Jesus loves everybody" even though they don't adhere to any basic principles of Christianity. So you end up with congregations that are really composed of people who belong to or come from other religions such as Islam. It's particularly convenient for politicians like Obama who know they couldn't get elected nationally by claiming membership in a mosque but still want to attend religious services that are sympathetic to islam.

Typically the more "exotic" and third worldish the religion is, the more these types of churches gravitate toward it. So you basically get Imams, Rastafarians, Voodoo witchdoctors, and "Wicca" priestesses coming in week after week and lecturing to the Unitarian or liberal UCC congregations. This may sound downright farcical to somebody who's never seen it, but it is literally what these people do. There was actually a case a couple years ago when a lady who practiced witchcraft filed a suit against a Unitarian congregation, accusing them of trying to steal her spells. Here's the FR link: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/605874/posts

Obama's church probably hasn't had any witch sue it yet, but it's not far off at all. Its posted doctrines are overtly Afrocentric, and its version of "inclusiveness" undoubtedly welcomes mahometan jihadis into its circles. Obama's mother was exactly the same way, and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree on this one.
