No one, and I mean NO ONE who sat in “Rev” Wright’s “Church” for 20 years is a Christian.

And that point can’t be overemphasized.

No doubt Obama is not a Christian as the term is usually defined, but the problem is, nobody thinks this is a campaign issue. Independents will be turned off by what they will see as pointless sectarian bickering. 'Rats will use this as further evidence that Santorum is a religious extremist zealot who wants to rule other people's private lives.

And it opens up yet one more avenue for the media to make Santorum the issue instead of obama. No media whore will ask on Sunday morning, "Is obama really a Christian?" Rather, they will ask, "Is Santorum going too far with his religiouus extremism?"

This simpleton just refuses to learn. Bad idea, Santorum. Very bad idea.

“Black Liberation Theology” borrows WAY more from Islam than from Christianity, and is unremitting in its anti-Semitism. Based on the ethnocentric view that the blacks of Africa were in reality the Chosen People, and that the Christ figure was not Aramaic at all, but in reality a black man, the concepts are but a slight displacement from the widely held belief among Muslims that THEY are the center of the universe, all else are in error.

Another of the roots of Black Liberation Theology is found in the writings of Karl Marx, and an almost ant hill kind of thinking. The belief system is very big on the platitudes of sharing and common sacrifice, but some always end up in sacrificing far more and sharing far less than others, the idealistic nature of the goals be damned.

The very thing about Christianity is that it is NOT restricted to only one or a very few ethnic groups, and its moral compass does not rely on one’s birth or station in life. “Self-evident” is not at all that easily discerned by large numbers of people, most of whom have never been actively taught the bedrock foundations of Christian faith. Our Constitution may only be read with understanding of its basic premise, that natural rights are endowed by the Creator, and not conferred by some imperfect government of Man.
