Well, you do raise an interesting point. Black Liberation Theology is based at least in part on Liberation Theology, a Catholic heresy that tried to combine Christian compassion for the poor and oppressed with Marxist resentment. It was most successful in South America, but except in the minds of some aging hippie priests and mainline idiots, it’s now pretty well dead.
So, black liberation theology ripped off some of the marxist ideas of liberation theology.
But there seems to be a special twist here in Rev. Wright’s theology. I think it’s his friendship, maybe alliance, with the black muslims. I think we’re talking about a strong component of Islam here, and not just Marxism.
I’m not sure if you’ve seen it, but someone called up Wright’s office and indicated he was a Muslim who wanted to join. He was told, fine, Muslims are welcome, and nobody needs to get baptized to be a member. In fact, that leaves plenty of room for Obama still to be a Muslim, and that’s just fine with Rev. Wright. They just wouldn’t talk about it in public, because having he color of a Christian church is useful, even to some of their members.
This must be Chicago Style Black Liberation Theology, even as practiced by The Reverend Jesse Jackson, whose legitimate half-brother ran the Blackstone Rangers, aka al-rukyn, a really bad bunch of Black Muslim-inspired (at least) gangstas who act(ed) as Jesse's shakedown enforcers.
Certainly Wright's wrongo rant followed the Calypso Louie party line very closely. OTOH, I wouldn't raise much of an eyebrow at the Muslim caller ... any pastor on a recruiting drive would tell a guy like that to drop by, train him for a year or so and then accept him "into the Church."
Those of us linked to some of the ancient orthodoxies would be surprised indeed at what goes on on the fringe. 'Pastors" in an outfit called ... no kiddin' ... The Church of God... receive part of their compensation package for the number of new members ... who, btw, can be Muslims, because according to this "Church" Jesus, Muhammed, Moses, and Bhudda were all really nice guys!
“YES, MUSLIMS ARE MEMBERS IN OUR CHURCH.” “WE HAVE MANY MEMBERS IN OUR CHURCH WHO ARE MUSLIMS.”
