How upsetting to hear Senator Obama's pastor rant and rail against the United States and white people.
I know some preachers get emotional from the pulpit as if getting louder will stir people to what? Healing? Closeness to God? To fellow humans? Compassion? A desire to give more $?
I can't help but wonder why and how he could worship there under this pastor in that congregation which would not welcome his mother. More than not welcome her but despise her. How very sad for him to hear such hatred spouted against his mother's race.
It is about race. Obama claims to be a bridge builder and a uniter. And yet, his weekly worship experience likely contained strong hate speech.
I also think this congregation needs to be investigated. There are very strict laws against political opinions coming from the pulpit. Church are not allowed to endorse candidates. They could be at risk of loosing their non-profit status.
'til later
