>I get his point (though personally I know a number of Bible-believing black Americans who’d be quite insulted).<
Right after Foxx’s statement, Twitter lit up with outrage from black Christians. Most indicated their support of Obama, but their rejection of his having any position even close to Christ was loud and clear. More than a few referred to Foxx as “Fool!” and called for him to repent.
If they support Obama, they support his unGodly agenda.
As the Bible says...you will know them by their fruits.
Guilty as charged.

And how do you support a “Fool” who pushes abortion, gay marriage, ect. as a Christian?...Sounds a little foolish to me....And very hypocritical.....
That still makes them hypocrites. Obama's non-denial of being Christ like should remove a true Christian's support.

I think you got it right. My Black brothers and sisters in Christ would never consider Obama as remotely equal to Christ. I think those on the forum that have condemned your statement are not acting appropriately.
I disagree with Black Christians in their support of Obama during the election...but did we REALLY give them a viable alternative IF we are going to discuss this from a “Christian” perspective? Meaning that as a devout Mormon, Romney was already strongly aligned with anti-Christian beliefs and would have used the White House to spread his Mormon beliefs. So, the GOP DID NOT give Black Christians a trully viable alternative so one could REALLY and CORRECTLY say they voted for the devil in voting for Obama. Voting for Romney was voting for the devil as well. At best he was the “lesser of two evils.” However, he was still evil - just sugar coated evil.
It troubles me that Black Christians (Some) seem to put race ahead of their faith. However, I have watched White Christians (Some) vote their pocketbook over their faith for most of my life. So, we are a bit off the mark in hurling insults at them for voting for what they thought were there best interests. To them Obama was the “lesser of two evils.”
IF we should offer a CLEAR CUT RIGHTEOUS alternative to vote for, then we can be comdematory of them. We did not do that this time.
