You can believe as you wish. But, if churchs are pulpits for politics, then they should not be tax exempt.
I thought that Christ taught tolerance and love for all men. I don't think that God has anything to do with wearing a flag pin (because as you well know, our government has done some bad things in the name of "national security" and I'm not talking about the war in Iraq, at the moment). I guess I could even stretch a bit to not oppose a sermon that talked about a non-political messge about what it would take for the US to be a stronger country morally and ethically.


I'm surprised to know that you believe OB is "satan". I can certainly understand and respect that you don't agree with his policies or plans, but "satan"? In my mind, Satan is the evil impluses of man. I don't agree with John McCain, but I certainly don't think he is Satan.

I don't see anything wrong with "make me feel good" religion. I much prefer a sermon of hope that inspires people to be their best selves, not one that damns them for being their worst. When I go to church, I want to think about how to be a better person and make the world a better place, not about distrusting the intentions who seek to lead. And I feel that way whether we are talking about Rev Wright or some preacher in Atlanta. It's just wrong.
