Here (from a friendly source) is everything one needs to know about the "theology" of Martin Luther King Jr. That Fundamentalist Blacks who know better (Peterson, Childress, his niece Alveda) cover up these facts and play along with the "born-again chr*stian who would be horrified at his followers today" is absolutely unconscionable.
Notice especially his rejection of any supernatural consummation of history and righting of wrongs--always the great threat to people who want to reduce the eschaton to "equal pay" and a full stomach (and anyone who would be satisfied by such a "paradise" doesn't know what it's like to suffer!). While many chr*stian traditions regard a messianic kingdom on this earth as the root of Communism, it is actually quite the opposite. A literal messianic kingdom governed by the laws of G-d is the ultimate nightmare of secularists everywhere.
This evening there was a local community celebration of King at which the speaker was a preacher from some church with a fundie name two miles long (some sort of spirit-filled house-of-deliverance or something). The Black church is schizophrenic.
Annual bump for this expose (from a friendly source) of a religious fraud. Why doesn’t his niece admit the truth???
Annual bump for an expose of a religious fraud!
I'm glad I found this one, as I have since posted excerpts with links to the original article. This original article has been, unsurprisingly, scrubbed.
I will never understand liberal "theology." Never.
