We're told, over and over, that Christian Fundamentalism is the single greatest threat to the American way of life; that it is, among many other evils, a breeding ground for race hate. We are reminded of the virtual descendants of Simon Legree among the Baptist Republicans of the Caucasian persuasion. We are harangued without end about their ceaseless lust for power. Baptist Democrats, it would seem, possess a "Get Out of Racism Free" card. Not because of their religious belief, but because of their party affiliation. It is a strange religion where sanctity is determined by politics and not by faith, but that seems to be the case.

I've been church shopping on and off for several years. During that time I've attended more than three dozen churches whose congregations could be considered Fundamentalist.

From my direct observation, these Christian Fundamentalist churches have all -- every single one -- had congregations composed of all the races. From my auditing of the sermons I have never, not once, heard a message of race hate preached. Neither have I heard race hate promoted in the social meetings after. Not one single time, not even in the whitest of congregations. I have never, not for one instant, felt anything coming from these meetings that is anything other than embracing tolerance and Christian love for mankind. I have never, not for one instant, detected a whiff of bigotry or of anti-Semitism in these gatherings.

Mr. Wright never preached on the sin of abortion which a high percentage of abortions are of the black community. And that is exactly what Margaret Sanger wanted to achieve. And the democrats keep abortion on their agenda and where does the black community go to vote for? And it was the republicans who fought against slavery! They whole things just doesn’t make sense.
You have to wonder how many black churches in this country
have ministers that are spewing out hate of America and hate
of the white man! I am in the “Bill Cosby” camp: blacks
need to look to themselves to improve conditions and move
beyond victimhood.
They seem to be cults of racism rather than Christian churches.
