Re: Obama's Incredible Denial Concerning His Pastor

Well barak says this guy was an uncle to him. So, after 20 years I'd say he knew what this man held as beliefs. So, would you sit there and listen to this or by attending etc. provide presumptive approval? Lets be clear, many have turned off religion because they feel it gets in the way of their relationship with god. While some see their church as their spiritual center. Who is the everyday visible and recognized head of the church, not the temporal head of that church? Wright.

Attending an org. is , by virtue of assoc. over the long term an approval of its tenets. I think the pope is half baked, but still consider myself a catholic, but do not attend anymore. And when I did I wasn't so much listening to the pope as I was there for the church experience to pray in a house of god and hear the message. I would say, to anyone who has been in an African American church environment, the message is very powerful and a huge part of the program. I mean, who sits there 45 times a year, presuming he didn’t go every single Sunday and not hear all or part of this over 20 years? Even excluding a what appears to be a personal relationship. 20 years? Come on.

And who stays if they disagree with the message?

Obama and Wright did many good works. He worked with him in building a outreach prgm. etc. To believe that in all that time and the closeness of this relationship, that these issues never came up, well, that’s a prayer right there.
So the next question is, is it germane?
