Same here. Dumbfounded is the word. I was not aware of all this. And to think, just about every major city in America has a “Martin Luther King Street” Avenue or Blvd. The black community reverences those streets, and almost all of their churches theology about creation, the Bible, and Christ, would be diametrically opposite to their great hero’s. Incredible.

Sadly, I must (after years of scratching my head) state that I no longer know what the Black churches actually believe about creation or the Bible.

The thing is that none of this is secret. I found this article (again, a friendly, pro-King article from a radical leftist publication) after a simple Yahoo search. It's all right there in black and white for anyone who wants to read it.

I am most disappointed in conservative/Fundamentalist Black ministers who continue to play along with this "MLK was a typical born-again" line. It is sheer falsehood.

I'm not black but I don't see any dichtomy. MLK was instrumental in the civil-rights movement. Whether he was Christian or not, that's a separate issue. Blacks can still revere him as a leader, just not as a Christian one (if this article is correct).

It's like those who hold Gandhi as a great leader -- he was hindu, but that does not take away from what he did and I don't see why a Christian cannot still hold Gandhi as a great MAN (note: MAN, human being with human faults and failures -- the greatness part is overcoming those human frailures (:) and doing something great)
