Is Barack actually religious?
Obama’s activist church enters spotlight
I use this story to open the door to a new issue for me today. The Church the Democrat Presidental-hopeful Barack Obama attends a church in Chicago, and the pastor there is Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Now Rev. Wright and the Church he has established is very controversial. The church featured the leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, who has said, among other things:
“White people are potential humans — they haven’t evolved yet .”
“The Jews don’t like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that’s a good name. Hitler was a very great man. “
Now a church that awards such a figure is going to be as controversial as the awarded figure because such an action conveys that the church agrees with the sentiment of Farrakhan. Obama has, as a result of the relationship between Farrakhan and Wright, said many times that he disagrees with a lot of what Wright preaches.
So, my question is can anyone go to a church be correct in saying that it’s wrong to say that that church represents their beliefs?
If a preacher establishes a church that views homosexual behavior as acceptable, do people who disagree still attend that church?
To me it is a little like saying, “Well, I’m a member of the KKK, and I go to the meetings, but you know, their actions and words shouldn’t represent me. Cause you know, I really don’t have a problem with black people.”
