  • RE: Spammed and Prudie's Advice

    I shouldn't be surprised at the blatant subjective information held within the advice to Spammed regarding the emails from his family member, but pointing to an article from the Washington Post as ''proof'' of any candidates religious/spiritual affiliation is a joke. And going one step further, pointing them to that candidate's own website as ...

  • Jehovah Witnesses ? 1% of vote

    For Jehovah's Witnesses a group that would only be 1% of the population of the United States they certainly do make an impact with their evangelizing and spreading the Gospel. You can't miss Jehovah's Witnesses in the overall society of the United States. I love their evangelism and I admire the fact that they so encourage reading and public ...

Man the 90's sure ...

  • Too Bad

    ''And what makes me heartsick is that's the kind of thing you say so you don't have to say the real reason is you won't vote for a black guy.'' Exactly.

  • It's easier to judge than accept/ Truth doesn't need proof

    I am reposting this as I feel quite passionately about this. I hope you see the truth of my words and know they come from a good place. Thanks for reading and everyone that responded. ''I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community.'' -Barack Obama This statement really resonated with me as an African-American/Black woman. ...

  • Fighting Words

    When the educated populace are sacrificed on the cross to satisfy Obama's internal belief of ''retribution by god'' of ''typical white's'' to the new ''black America''. I'm a bit agnostic myself and was trying to think of churches that would give me ''church cred''.....a church associated with the Nation of Islam (Farrakhan), who were also ...

  • How would St. Matthew vote?

    There is one factor in this cogent analysis that might be factored into the equation. Of the casualties in Iraq, what percentage are from Catholic families as compared to the nation as a whole. I would expect that Catholics and Evangelicals are probably over represented. I have a niece whose son is serving his second tour in Iraq. But beyond ...

  • Obama's Church

    I went to the website for Obama's Church and I don't see what's ''racist'' about it. There are lots of organizations targeted to various ethnic groups. There are Chinese Churches, Albanian Churches, Greek Churches and Latino Churches. All of these organizations promote advancement for there own ethnic groups, fight bigotry against their ...

  • Re: Obama's religious affiliation

    For an EXCELLENT break-down on Obama's church, see this article from The Christian Century. Very fair-minded: http://www.christiancentury.org/article.lasso?id=3392

  • Obama's Church is more disturbing

    The apparent racism and pro-segregationist dogma of Obama's chosen church is far more disturbing then his drug use when young.Obama became a Christian as an adult and could have chose any number of Christian churches to call home -- yet he chose to belong to an ''afro-centrist'' church, the Trinity United Church of Christ which states emphatically ...
