Obama decides to bash black Christians, and engage in an anti-Christian rant. I guess we could say that Barack Obama is Christophobic. I mean, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Mychal Massie, chairman of the black conservative think tank Project 21, and Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson took Obama to task as well.

Obama has quoted scripture while on the campaign trail, talks about his faith and the Bible, so he needs to provide scriptures from the Bible that condone homosexuality.

BTW, there aren’t any scriptures that condone homosexuality.

"Homophobic"

No wonder Barack Hussein visited Larry Sinclair for play time more than one. He is not afraid of homosexuals.

How do you interpret the Bible saying homosexuality is wrong? Is it up for interpretation?

Oh yeah, these are the people who interpret the Constitution.

most African-American churches are still fairly traditional in their interpretations of Scripture

God's truth is eternal, unchanging. The only acceptable "interpretation" is going back to the original Hebrew, Aramaic or Greek, to try to tease out subtleties that our language does not capture well. If Obama seems to believe that the Bible is a "living document" in the same sense that he obvioiusly believes the Constitution to be a "living document," he's as much a Christian as he is a Constitutionalist.

Obama praised the controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright, his former pastor and long-time spiritual adviser, for being on the right side of the homosexual debate.

Sorry, Obama. If you're on the side opposite of what God has stated, you might as well forget about being right.

Larry Sinclair’s statements note that the Choir Director of Obie’s church claimed a relationship with Obie. Wonder why Obie accused all other black church’s of being Homophobic?
thats VERY Un Christianlike behavior and very despicable behavior for a self-proclaimed Uniter and PO**S want-abe!
The Director, a Mr. Young, met an untimely death that appears to be a homicide a year or two ago.

Obama has a habit of saying completely contradictory things to different groups as if either he hasn’t heard of the internet and the pajama media or as if he believes each group will think to themselves, “He’s lying to those other groups to get elected but I know he’s telling the truth to me.” Are we really that stupid?

the pulpits of black churches because "most African-American

Thanks Senator Obama!
For admitting (by implication) that it's the gay-oriented churches
that are the ones with the screwed-up interpretation of the scriptures!

In an Apr. 10 interview with The Advocate magazine, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) said "homophobic" messages are coming from the pulpits of black churches because "most African-American churches are still fairly traditional in their interpretations of Scripture." In the same interview, Obama praised the controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright, his former pastor and long-time spiritual adviser, for being on the right side of the homosexual debate.

I wonder what Obama will do to traditional churches that don’t line up behind his agenda for government funding. I don’t trust him a bit.

I still would like to see Obamama on the cover of the Advocate.

That would be nice treat for those who still doubt his support for the LBGT society.

Rev. Ken Hutcherson..."That gives two choices to African-American pastors. They can either be Scriptural and demand righteousness from their flock, or they can drop Scripture and righteousness and support homosexuality."

The more one learns about the Tolerance United Church of Wright, the greater the percentage of homosexual members becomes evident. Combined with the theology they embrace, it's obvious that scripture means absolutely nothing to this church.

He’s certainly full of put-downs - another fine example from his church, I suppose.

Wasn't he a Malcolm fan at Occindental college?

************************

“I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites,” he wrote.

Yet, even through high school, he continued to vacillate between the twin strands of his racial identity.

“I learned to slip back and forth between my black and white worlds,” he wrote in “Dreams.” “One of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied; they were relieved — such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time.”

Although Obama spent various portions of his youth living with his white maternal grandfather and Indonesian stepfather, he vowed that he would “never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.”

“There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.”

He added: “To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”

Obama said he and other blacks were careful not to second-guess their own racial identity in front of whites.

“To admit our doubt and confusion to whites, to open up our psyches to general examination by those who had caused so much of the damage in the first place, seemed ludicrous, itself an expression of self-hatred,” he wrote.

After his sophomore year, Obama transferred to Columbia University. Later, looking back on his years in New York City, he recalled: “I had grown accustomed, everywhere, to suspicions between the races.”

His pessimism about race relations seemed to pervade his worldview.

Homophobic! Homophobic! Bigot!

Say it enough and enough idiots may believe you.

Wise people had better be “homophobes.” Engaging in that behavior is the top means of transmission of HIV - a deadly virus, in case you haven't heard.
