Meanwhile, in a parallel universe:
"We are a congregation which is Unashamedly White and Unapologetically Christian. ... Our roots in the White religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an European people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization."

Funny how changing one single word makes it hate speech.
Then again IMO both are wrong.
To: Travis McGee
Thanks for posting.
There will be more adverse info coming out about both B. Hussein and his Pastor in the coming months...

Yep. I got this in an email today.
Trinity United Church of Christ
Barack Obama is a member of this church and is running for President of the U.S. If you look at the first page of their website, you will learn that this congregation has a non-negotiable commitment to Africa. No where is AMERICA even mentioned.

Exactly what I was thinking. Even before reading this, I got a kind of "vibe" that his brand of Christianity was more about race than religion. Can you imagine the flogging a white politician would take for belonging to a similar church?

It's pretty obvious that Obama's pastor is a racist.
The problem with much of the black self-reliance movement is its fetishization of Africa and impotent rage at "the White man."
It is also clearly inappropriate to mix Christianity and race - no orthodox form of Christianity has ever had such a distinction made anywhere in its canons, catechisms or creeds.

Gee, I wonder if cached pages will become significant with this.

Sounds like a “Church” more focused on White Hate and Blame than Godly Love and Salvation......
Obama close relationship with his racist “Minister”, Obama’s difficulty with the Pledge of Allegiance, Obama’s refusal to say HOW he is going to accomplish all the “dreamy and creamy” CHANGE in the lives of the downtrodden and dewy eyed fools -— is going to be tough on Obama...
I’m an old man, and I’ve NEVER heard a politician talk more and say less than Obama —— he’s from the school of speaking beautiful lines containing no substance.
He’s the perfect candidate for the average ignorant American voter today — and THAT’s what makes him so dangerous.
How a man blessed so much by this society and the people who made it so - could hate it so is incredible.....

Little to none, I bet.

I imagine more of their budget goes to getting liberal politicians elected to the US Congress, than to poor Christians or other people in Africa.

I've read this before. Ugh. How can you respect a church which has racial roots? How could you bring a white/asian/latin/whatever person into God's fold in that kind of atmosphere? All the respectable churches I know that were predominantly black or white always reached out to cooperate with the other side.
The more I read, the more convinced I am that Obama is worse than Hillary.

Instead of replacing “black” with “white”, try “Irish” or “Polish” or “Chinese”, etc. Years ago, Catholic churches catered to ethnic communities. I grew up a member of one of those kinds of churches. They took pilgrimages to their “country of origin” and so on. They even restricted membership to people who were at least 1/8th of an ethnicity. They taught pride in one’s heritage. So, I don’t have a problem with his church being “unashamedly Black.”
My question is: What are the other teachings of this church? There is a lot of non-Christian teaching going on in some “Christian” churches today.

It would be interesting if Obama's church were getting the same scrutiny as Romney's. But Obama's is "Christian," and Romney's is not.

Those who worship Africa and “Africanism” have never been there.

Look at the website for radical changes in the next few months. Then they’ll pretend it was never said, and get away with it.
