#9 Liberation theology has always been nothing more than Marxism hiding behind a Bible. This is just an ethnocentric twist on that. Liberation theology swept Latin America with renegade Catholic priests and nuns aiding rebels in the 80's and look what we have reaped from the seeds that were sown. |

#7 Well, he served as a Marine. He can't be all bad. Just like Lee Harvey Oswald. |

#6 Sorry guys, but who gives a damn what a theologian says. Liberation Theology is total hogwash. Has it worked anywhere in the world? Ever? |

#5 Man is fallen. Any religion that does not challenge you to transform yourself is no religion at all. Any theology that assures you that all your problems are someone else's fault is a false one. |

#3 For those who don't know, Wright gave an award to Lewis Farakhan. According to the Nation of Islam leader, blacks are circling the globe in huge spaceships, filled with "TNT." When it is time, the space-blacks will end "5000 years of white rule," and initiate "5000 years of black leadership." Elijah Muhammad wrote that in the "Muhammad Speaks" tract. They are going to blow us up, real good. |

#2 The Sweetness and Light blog proves that Trinity United altered their "mission statement" to cover their racist agenda. Wright claims Rev. Moss as his mentor; Moss was co-pastor with Martin Luther King, at Ebenezer Baptist Church. All at once: REPARATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

#1 Obama referred to this when he asserted in a March 14 statement, "I knew Reverend Wright as someone who served this nation with honor as a United States Marine, as a respected biblical scholar, and as someone who taught or lectured at seminaries across the country, from Union Theological Seminary to the University of Chicago." But the fact the liberal academy condescends to sponsor black liberation theology does not make it less peculiar to mainstream American Christians. Obama wants to talk about what Wright is, rather than what he says. But that way lies apolitical quicksand. Well, he served as a Marine. He can't be all bad. Well B.O., I assume that what a man is and what he says should be about one and the same, otherwise there is a problem. So why don't we talk about what he says and then you can tell me how that equates to what he is. But first, please allow me to go get a couple hits of LSD so I can follow the logic. |
