Obama the Christian?
Judging from Barack Obama’s comments about people in Pennsylvania “clinging to guns or religion” at a San Francisco fund raiser, he didn’t get much of the gospel of Christ in the Trinity United Church of Christ. Apparently, Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. spent most of his time in the pulpit defaming the US, the Government, and white people in general instead of teaching about the love of Christ. If he had gotten the message, and he was truly a Christian, would he have phrased the comment like this:
And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
I guess if Barack Obama didn’t share the views of his pastor Rev. Wright, or had a shred of integrity, he would have walked out long ago.
I think this also goes to prove that the Presidential race is beauty contest. The people that support this guy are going to support him no matter what he says. To me, his statement is very telling of his underlying faith, or lack thereof, and his values.
What do you think?
